Mitochondrial Inner Membrane Fatty Acid Transport System (Mitochondrial FA Transport)
- Target
- Mitochondrial FA Transport
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Transporter
01
Overview
The mitochondrial inner membrane fatty acid transport system, primarily the carnitine shuttle, is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation and ATP production. It involves CPT1 (outer membrane), carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (inner membrane), and CPT2 (matrix side). Defects can lead to fatty acid oxidation disorders.
