Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for CPT1A(NM_001876.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is initiated by the sequential action of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (which is located in the outer membrane and is detergent-labile) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (which is located in the inner membrane and is detergent-stable), together with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT I is the key enzyme in the carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane and its deficiency results in a decreased rate of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene References into function
- Human CPT1A, CPT1B, CPT2, CROT and CRAT are known to encode active carnitine acyltransferases. Earlier pfam annotations refer to the non-existing compound CARNITATE. In 2000 this has been changed to CARNITINE.
- Mutations 1079A>G and 2028+2delAAGT result in an autosomal recessive mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder.
- hyperglycemia with hyperinsulinemia increases malonyl-CoA, inhibits functional CPT-1 activity, and shunts long-chain fatty acids away from oxidation and toward storage in human muscle
- disease-causing CPT1A mutations can be divided into two categories depending on whether they affect directly or indirectly the active site of the enzyme
- tBid decreases CPT-1 activity by a mechanism independent of both malonyl-CoA, the key inhibitory molecule of CPT-1, and Bak and/or Bax, but dependent on cardiolipin decrease
- This inducible expression system should be well suited to study the roles of CPT1 and fatty acid oxidation in lipotoxicity and metabolism in vivo.
- a conserved functional PPAR responsive element downstream of the transcriptional start site of the human CPT1A gene is localized; this sequence is fundamental for fatty acids or PGC1-induced transcriptional activation of the CPT1A gene
- Patient with chronic hepatitis C, carrying the CPT1A minor allele are at the decreased risk of developing advanced liver fibrosis.
- neither haplotypes nor SNPs of CPT1A were found to be associated either with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus or with hepatic lipid content or insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients
- structural analysis of two malonyl-CoA sites in carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A
- The peculiar localization of CPT1 in the nuclei of human carcinomas and the disclosed functional link between nuclear CPT1 and HDAC1 propose a new role of CPT1 in the histonic acetylation level of tumors.
- Accumulation of 3-hydroxylated intermediates of long-chain fatty acids may contribute to the pathogenesis of retinopathy in MTP deficiencies.
