Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPT2 gene.^[1][2]

Function

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II precursor (CPT2) is a mitochondrial membrane protein which is transported to the mitochondrial inner membrane. CPT2 together with carnitine palmitoyltransferase I oxidizes long-chain fatty acids in the mitochondria. Defects in this gene are associated with mitochondrial long-chain fatty-acid (LCFA) oxidation disorders and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency.^[2]

Acyl-CoA from cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of CPT2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Cpt2^{tm1b(KOMP)Wtsi} was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.^[3] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen^[4] to determine the effects of deletion.^[5][6][7][8] Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping^[9]
