Also known as CPT1-LL-CPT1
Summary
CPT1A (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A, HGNC:2328) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.3, encoding Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, liver isoform (P50416). Catalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of long-chain fatty acid-CoA conjugates onto carnitine, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion.
The mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is initiated by the sequential action of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (which is located in the outer membrane and is detergent-labile) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (which is located in the inner membrane and is detergent-stable), together with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT I is the key enzyme in the carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane and its deficiency results in a decreased rate of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Catalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of long-chain fatty acid-CoA conjugates onto carnitine, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion. Also possesses a lysine succinyltransferase activity that can regulate enzymatic activity of substrate proteins such as ENO1 and metabolism independent of its classical carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity. Plays an important role in hepatic triglyceride metabolism. Also plays a role in inducible regulatory T-cell (iTreg) differentiation once activated by butyryl-CoA that antagonizes malonyl-CoA-mediated CPT1A repression. Sustains the IFN-I response by recruiting ZDHCC4 to palmitoylate MAVS at the mitochondria leading to MAVS stabilization and activation. Promotes ROS-induced oxidative stress in liver injury via modulation of NFE2L2 and NLRP3-mediated signaling pathways.
Subunit / interactions. Homohexamer and homotrimer. Identified in a complex that contains at least CPT1A, ACSL1 and VDAC1. Also identified in complexes with ACSL1 and VDAC2 and VDAC3. Interacts with ZDHHC4.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion outer membrane.
Tissue specificity. Strong expression in kidney and heart, and lower in liver and skeletal muscle.
Disease relevance. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A deficiency (CPT1AD) [MIM:255120] Rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of long-chain fatty acid oxidation characterized by severe episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia usually occurring after fasting or illness. Onset is in infancy or early childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by malonyl-CoA.
Domain organisation. A conformation change in the N-terminal region spanning the first 42 residues plays an important role in the regulation of enzyme activity by malonyl-CoA.
Induction. Up-regulated by fatty acids.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Similarity. Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 178 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
