Crystal structure of rat carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 in complex with antidiabetic drug ST1326

Overview

Carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPTs) are part of the enzymatic system, that imports fatty acids into mitochondria. The crystal structure of rat, CPT-2 by Rufer et al. (2006) (this issue of Structure) reveals a Y-shaped, tunnel for binding the CoA and acyl-carnitine substrates and a hydrophobic, insert mediating membrane association.

About this Structure

2FW3 is a Single protein structure of sequence from Rattus norvegicus with BUI as ligand. Active as Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase, with EC number 2.3.1.21 Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
