Abstract excerpt
The carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) transports acylcarnitines into mitochondria in exchange for free carnitine and it is, therefore, essential for the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. We have determined the exon-intron structure of the human CACT gene, which is responsible for a genetic disorder of fatty acid oxidation called CACT deficiency. The gene spans about 16.5 kb and consists of nine exons...
