Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency
The authors investigated 32 patients with the muscle form of CPT II deficiency. Total carnitine palmitoyltransferase enzyme system (CPT) activity was normal but abnormally inhibited by malonyl-CoA, palmitoyl-CoA, and the detergents Triton X and Tween 20. Mutation analysis identified three described mutations (S113L, P50H, and F448L) and two novel mutations (M214T and Y479F). Using modeling tech...
متن کاملCarnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C promotes cell survival and tumor growth under conditions of metabolic stress.
Tumor cells gain a survival/growth advantage by adapting their metabolism to respond to environmental stress, a process known as metabolic transformation. The best-known aspect of metabolic transformation is the Warburg effect, whereby cancer cells up-regulate glycolysis under aerobic conditions. However, other mechanisms mediating metabolic transformation remain undefined. Here we report that ...
متن کاملImportant roles of brain-specific carnitine palmitoyltransferase and ceramide metabolism in leptin hypothalamic control of feeding.
Brain-specific carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1c) is implicated in CNS control of food intake. In this article, we explore the role of hypothalamic CPT-1c in leptin's anorexigenic actions. We first show that adenoviral overexpression of CPT-1c in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of rats increases food intake and concomitantly up-regulates orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Bsx (a transcript...
متن کاملThe soluble carnitine palmitoyltransferase from bovine liver
The properties of two carnitine acyltransferases (CPT) purified from bovine liver are compared to confirm that they are different proteins. The soluble CPT and the inner CPT from mitochondria differ in subunit Mr, native Mr, pI and reactivity with thiol reagents. All eight free thiol groups in soluble CPT react with 5,5'dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) in the absence of any unfolding reagent, and ac...
متن کاملThe Regulation of Energy Metabolism Pathways Through L-Carnitine Homeostasis
Diabetes mellitus is a widespread metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and associated with severe complications, including cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia. The cardiovascular risk is considerably increased in diabetic patients, and novel cardioprotective strategies are sought that could target both diabetic and cardiovascular outcomes. L-carnitine is a conditionally essentia...
