basic FUNCTION	carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, (carrier) nuclear encoded protein
	mediating the transport of acylcarnitines of different length across the mitochondrial inner membrane from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix for their oxidation by the mitochondrial fatty acid-oxidation pathway
	key molecule that transfers acylcarnitine esters in . exchange for free carnitine across the mitochondrial membrane in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation (Tachibana 2009)
