Biological function summary
CPT2 is integral to the mitochondrial pathway of fatty acid metabolism. It functions as part of the carnitine shuttle system a complex important for the conversion of acylcarnitine to acyl-CoA inside the mitochondria. This role is vital for the full oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. Through its action CPT2 aids in maintaining energy homeostasis and producing ketone bodies especially during periods of fasting or strenuous exercise.
Pathways
CPT2 is involved in both the beta-oxidation and the carnitine shuttle pathways. These pathways facilitate the energy production from fatty acids particularly during states of low carbohydrate availability. CPT2 works closely with CPT1 as both enzymes form the gateway for the entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria. Together with enzymes from the tricarboxylic acid cycle CPT2 helps sustain ATP production under such metabolic conditions.

General info
Function
Involved in the intramitochondrial synthesis of acylcarnitines from accumulated acyl-CoA metabolites (PubMed : 20538056, PubMed : 24780397). Reconverts acylcarnitines back into the respective acyl-CoA esters that can then undergo beta-oxidation, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion. Active with medium (C8-C12) and long-chain (C14-C18) acyl-CoA esters (PubMed : 20538056).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.
