Gene Description

Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, liver isoform (CPT1A, L-CPT1) is a polytopic integral protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane, with two transmembrane segments, cytosolic N- and C-terminal domains and a short intermembrane-space loop. Its C-terminal catalytic domain, a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family with catalytic His473 and Asp477, transfers long-chain acyl groups from acyl-CoA to L-carnitine to form acylcarnitines. This is the first step of the carnitine shuttle and the rate-limiting, regulated entry point of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondrial beta-oxidation. Activity is inhibited by malonyl-CoA, the first intermediate of fatty acid synthesis, linking oxidation to lipogenic state; sensitivity is tuned by the N-terminal regulatory segment (a membrane-curvature-responsive structural switch), the loop/TM2 region, CK2 phosphorylation and membrane lipid environment. CPT1A forms trimers/hexamers through TM2 and associates with ACSL1 and VDAC in the outer membrane. Expressed mainly in liver and kidney, it controls hepatic fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis and triglyceride output, and its expression is strongly induced by fasting, fatty acids and PPARalpha agonists. The human ortholog additionally has reported lysine succinyltransferase activity and a role recruiting ZDHHC4 to MAVS in type I interferon signalling.

Summary: Cpt1a expression changes in hypoxic/obese rat myocardium.
Reason: Expression-pattern (IEP) annotation: the study reports that Cpt1a mRNA/protein/activity changes under this condition. This is a genuine but peripheral observation about regulation of Cpt1a expression (largely via PPARalpha) rather than a function of the protein; kept as non-core.

Reason: True but general: CPT1A acts specifically on long-chain acyl-CoAs, and the gene already carries the more specific GO:0001676 long-chain fatty acid metabolic process (and GO:0006635 fatty acid beta-oxidation).

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: CPT1A overexpression in INS1E beta-cells lowers glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
Reason: Elevated CPT1A activity depletes a lipid signal needed for GSIS (rescued by palmitate; normalised by etomoxir). The authors conclude CPT1 activity regulates insulin secretion; this is an indirect metabolic effect on a beta-cell-specific process, kept as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11988095
These results provide further evidence that CPT I activity regulates insulin secretion in the beta-cell.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Palmitate induces Cpt1a gene expression in H4IIEC3 hepatocytes.
Reason: Full text read: palmitate but not oleate increased CPT-1a mRNA, and etomoxir reduced palmitate-induced ROS. This is an expression response to fatty acid, consistent with substrate-driven induction; non-core.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: Liver CPT1A expression/activity restored by herbal extracts in HFD-fed rats.
Reason: The study is about diet-induced steatosis and its reversal, not liver regeneration (regrowth after loss of tissue). An expression change in this setting does not show participation in liver regeneration.
Supporting Evidence:

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cpt-1a mRNA altered in CCl4-induced liver injury.
Reason: Expression-pattern (IEP) annotation: the study reports that Cpt1a mRNA/protein/activity changes under this condition. This is a genuine but peripheral observation about regulation of Cpt1a expression (largely via PPARalpha) rather than a function of the protein; kept as non-core.

Summary: CPT1A catalyses the first step of the carnitine shuttle.
Reason: The carnitine shuttle moves long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria via CPT1 (acylcarnitine formation at the outer membrane), carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase and CPT2. Rat CPT1A has experimentally established carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity at the outer membrane, so it performs a step of this process. Comparator check: human CPT1A, CPT2 and SLC25A20 carry GO:0006853, i.e. the term is used for the enzymes and transporter that do the steps. Not an ancestor/descendant of any other term carried.

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPTI) catalyses the transfer of long chain fatty acids to carnitine for translocation across the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Core Functions

Transfers long-chain acyl groups from acyl-CoA to L-carnitine at the cytosolic face of the mitochondrial outer membrane, forming acylcarnitines for import via the carnitine shuttle; this malonyl-CoA-inhibited step is rate-limiting for mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does rat CPT1A have the peptide-lysine succinyltransferase activity reported for human CPT1A, and is it separable from carnitine acyltransfer (e.g. G710E)?

Q: Should the "regulation of fatty acid (beta-)oxidation" annotations to CPT1A be retired, given that CPT1A is the regulated enzyme of the pathway rather than an upstream regulator?

Q: Is the ZDHHC4-MAVS adaptor role of CPT1A conserved in rodents?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Assay recombinant rat CPT1A (wild type and a carnitine-transfer-dead mutant) for succinyl-CoA-dependent lysine succinylation of ENO1 in vitro and in hepatocytes.

Experiment: Test whether rat Cpt1a knockdown in macrophages or hepatocytes reduces MAVS palmitoylation and type I IFN responses after RNA-virus challenge.
