Reaction: acetyl-CoA + carnitine => acetylcarnitine + CoASH
- in pathway: Beta-oxidation of pristanoyl-CoA
Peroxisomal carnitineacetyltransferase (CRAT) catalyzes the reaction of acetyl-CoA and carnitine to form acetylcarnitine and CoASH. The active form of the enzyme is a monomer (Bloisi et al. 1990; Wu et al. 2003).
Reaction - small molecule participants:
ACAR [peroxisomal matrix]
CoA-SH [peroxisomal matrix]
