General description
Acetyl-CoA:carnitine O-acetyltransferase
Carnitine acetyltransferase is a mitochondrial enzyme essential for fuel utilization. It is present in the mitochondrial matrix and peroxisome. It is involved in the fatty acid metabolism. It facilitates conversion of acetyl-CoA and carnitine to acetylcarnitine and CoA respectively. This conversion facilitates peroxisomal β-oxidation by importing acetyl group for mitochondrial oxidation.

Carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) is present in mitochondria and peroxisomes of oleate-grown Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both proteins are encoded by the same gene, YCAT, which encodes a protein with a mitochondrial targeting signal (MTS) at the N-terminus, and a peroxisomal targeting signal

We test whether the dysfunction with age of carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT), a key mitochondrial enzyme for fuel utilization, is due to decreased binding affinity for substrate and whether this substrate, fed to old rats, restores CAT activity. The kinetics of
