CROT


Description

The CROT (carnitine O-octanoyltransferase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.

CROT is a human gene that encodes a protein involved in fatty acid metabolism.

CROT is involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, particularly those with chain lengths between C6 and C10. It converts 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA, the final product of pristanic acid beta oxidation, into its corresponding carnitine ester.

CROT is also known as COT.
