Biochem/physiol Actions


Carnitine acetyltransferase maintains the cellular and mitochondrial levels of acetyl-CoA, a key cofactor required for oxidative metabolism, by catalyzing an equilibrium between acetyl-CoA and acetyl-L-carnitine, a storage form of activated acetate. Carnitine acetyltransferase also maintains the pool of acetyl-CoA required for neuronal and nonneuronal acetylcholine production.
