CPT1C, Official Symbol CPT1Cprovided by HGNC Official Full Name carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1Cprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:18540 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000169169 MIM:608846; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18540 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as CATL1; CPT1P; CPTIC; SPG73; CPT1-B; CPTI-B Summary This gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein regulates the beta-oxidation and transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, and may play a role in the regulation of feeding behavior and whole-body energy homeostasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple protein isoforms have been observed for this gene.
