L-Carnitine and mitochondrial fatty acid transport
Source: PubMed PMID: 15189123
Summary: This review characterized the carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) system, examining how L-Carnitine shuttles long-chain acyl-CoA across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the CPT-I/CPT-II/carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase pathway in cell-based models.
