carnitine O-acetyltransferase  M-CSA #629

Carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT) belongs to the family of choline/carnitine acyltransferases, which catalyse the exchange between acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine (likewise with choline). The enzymes of this family are classified based on their substrate selectivity. CrAT prefers short-chain fatty acids. CrAT maybe involved in the transport of acetyl-CoA across intercellular membranes, in maintaining the acetyl-CoA:CoA balance and in the excretion of excess or harmful acyl molecules as acylcarnitines. Inherited deficiency of CrAT activity can lead to serious neurological and heart problems, and patients suffering from Alzhiemer's disease also have reduced CrAT activity.
