Description:
The enzyme carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPTI) from the outer mitochondrial membrane eliminates coenzyme A from acyl-CoA; time connects it to L-carnitine within the intermembrane space, producing acyl carnitine; CoA remains free inside the cellular cytoplasm in order to activate another fatty acid. 2. Then, the carrier protein, known as the translocase of the inner membrane, transmits acyl carnitine to Z While Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase II (CPTII) joints CoA molecules from the fatty acid matrix, and therefore regenerate acyl-CoA. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
