    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)
