Reaction: Exchange of palmitoylcarnitine and carnitine across the inner mitochondrial membrane
- in pathway: Carnitine metabolism
The carnitine-acylcarnitine transporter (SLC25A20 / CACT), embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, mediates the exchange of palmitoyl-carnitine (and other acylcarnitine esters) and carnitine across the inner mitochondrial membrane (Huizing et al., 1997).
