Abstract excerpt
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) is one of the carnitine cycle enzymes that plays a role in the transportation of long-fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. Hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT IA) is one of the isozymes of CPT I, and its deficiency results in an autosomal recessive mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder. To date, 19 patients with CPT IA deficiency and 9 CPT...
