More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Acyltransferases in the inner mitochondrial membrane that catalyze the reversible transfer of acyl groups from acyl-CoA to L-carnitine and thereby mediate the transport of activated fatty acids through that membrane. EC 2.3.1.  do not confuse with CARNITINE ACETYLTRANSFERASE see CARNITINE O-ACETYLTRANSFERASE   
Examples Carnitine O-Acetyltransferase; Carnitine O-Palmitoyltransferase 		Other names Translocase, Carnitine-Acylcarnitine; Translocase, Carnitine-Acetylcarnitine; Translocase, Carnitine; Translocase, Acylcarnitine; Carnitine Acylcarnitine Translocase; Carnitine Acetylcarnitine Translocase; Acyltransferases, Carnitine; Carnitine-Acylcarnitine Translocase; Carnitine-Acetylcarnitine Translocase; Carnitine Translocase; Acylcarnitine Translocase
