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).

Cpt2 is obligate enzyme in long-chain fatty acid (FA) oxidation; cardiac hypertrophy is linked to impaired FA oxidation. Data (including data from studies using transgenic/knockout mice) suggest that deficiency of Cpt2 in cardiac muscle leads to cardiac hypertrophy/dysfunction with eventual lethality without cardiac fibrosis; mTORC1 is activated in Cpt2(-/-) heart, but inhibition of mTORC1 does not prevent hypertrophy.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
