FunFam 2: Carnitine O-acetyltransferase

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 4 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

1 P47934 (/ISO)
Carnitine metabolic process, CoA-linked GO:0019254
The chemical reactions and pathways involving carnitine, where metabolism is linked to CoA.

1 P47934 (/ISO)
Fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA oxidase GO:0033540
A fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway in which the initial step, which converts an acyl-CoA to a trans-2-enoyl-CoA, is catalyzed by acyl-CoA oxidase; the electrons removed by oxidation pass directly to oxygen and produce hydrogen peroxide, which is cleaved by peroxisomal catalases. Fatty acid beta-oxidation begins with the addition of coenzyme A to a fatty acid, and ends when only two or three carbons remain (as acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA respectively).
