重组人CPT2蛋白(ab114539)

Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.

Defects in CPT2 are the cause of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency (CPT2D) [MIM:255110, 600649]; also known as CPT-II deficiency or CPT2 deficiency. CPT2D is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent myoglobinuria, episodes of muscle pain, stiffness, and rhabdomyolysis. These symptoms are triggered by prolonged exercise, fasting or viral infection and patients are usually young adults. In addition to this classical, late-onset, muscular type, a hepatic or hepatocardiomuscular form has been reported in infants. Clinical pictures in these children or neonates include hypoketotic hypoglycemia, liver dysfunction, cardiomyopathy and sudden death.
Defects in CPT2 are the cause of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency, lethal neonatal (CPT2D-LN) [MIM:608836]; also known as lethal neonatal CPT-II deficiency. It is a lethal neonatal form of CPT2D. This rarely presentation is antenatal with cerebral periventricular cysts and cystic dysplastic kidneys. The clinical variability of the disease is likely attributed to the variable residual enzymatic activity.

Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.
