| carnitine |
An amino acid essential for the breakdown of fat into energy. Carnitine may improve the utilization of fats for energy and can be beneficial in conditions associated with impaired fat breakdown and energy production. Carnitine may be beneficial in heart disease, enhancing physical performance, Alzhiemers disease, diabetes, liver disease, and protection against drug toxicity.

| carnitine O |
[EC 2.3.1.21] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer between coenzyme A and carnitine of long chain fatty acids. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I transfers the fatty acid to carnitine; the acyl carnitine can then traverse the inner mitochondrial membrane. Once in the matrix, the fatty acid is transferred from carnitine back to coenzyme A by carnitine palmitoyltransferase II; the resultant acyl coenzyme A is a substrate for oxidation. Deficiency of the enzyme is a cause of defective fatty acid oxidation. Written also carnitine palmityltransferase.

| carnitine palmityltransferase deficiency |
a disorder of lipid metabolism in which the altered enzyme is abnormally regulated, resulting in muscle aches, fatigability, and myoglobinuria, but without lipid accumulation, in the wake of prolonged exercise, particularly in the cold or after fasting. It is an autosomal recessive trait with reduced penetrance in women.
