This gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein regulates the beta-oxidation and transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, and may play a role in the regulation of feeding behavior and whole-body energy homeostasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple protein isoforms have been observed for this gene.,CPT1C,CATL1,CPT1-B,CPT1P,CPTI-B,CPTIC,SPG73,Signal Transduction,Endocrine & Metabolism,Mitochondrial metabolism,Mitochondrial markers,Lipid Metabolism,Endocrine and metabolic diseases,Obesity,Neuroscience,Cardiovascular,Lipids,Fatty Acids,CPT1C
