Protein attributes

Sequence length	612 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Beta-oxidation of fatty acids. The highest activity concerns the C6 to C10 chain length substrate. Converts the end product of pristanic acid beta oxidation, 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA, to its corresponding carnitine ester.
Catalytic activity	Octanoyl-CoA + L-carnitine = CoA + L-octanoylcarnitine.
Pathway	Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Subunit structure	Monomer Probable.
Subcellular location	Peroxisome Potential.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.
