About Cpt2

Summary

Predicted to enable carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease; lipid metabolism disorder; and muscular disease. Orthologous to human CPT2 (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2).
