Description
Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) is part of the carnitine shuttle which is responsible for the mitochondrial transport of long-chain fatty acids for fatty acid oxidation. CACT is an internal mt-IM protein and transports acyl-carnitines into the mitochondrial matrix in exchange for free L-carnitine.
