-   Protein Accession: Q9UKG9
-   Size: 612 amino acids
-   Molecular mass: 70178 Da
-   Domains: Carn_acyl_trans, CAT-like_dom_sf, Cho/carn_acyl_trans, Cho/carn_acyl_trans_2, Carn_acyl_trans_N
-   Blocks: Acyltransferase ChoActase/COT/CPT
-   Family: Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. Monomer
-   The carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the exchange of acyl groups between carnitine and CoA. This exchange reaction is fully reversible, with no need for energy input [PMID: 15591000].
-   Structural analysis suggests the positive charge on carnitine may be important for the catalytic activity of these enzyme. The Arg to Asn mutation in bovine CrOT produced a 1650-fold increase in the Km for carnitine, but had little effect on the Km for CoA or the kcat of the enzyme [PMID: 9288928].
