About CROT

Cytogenetic location: 7q21.12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:87,345,664-87,399,794 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 216 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 12.0), urinary bladder (RPKM 8.5) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein converts 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA to its corresponding carnitine ester. This transesterification occurs in the peroxisome and is necessary for transport of medium- and long- chain acyl-CoA molecules out of the peroxisome to the cytosol and mitochondria. The protein thus plays a role in lipid metabolism and fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
