Cpt1c - carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1c

Predicted to enable carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum; and postsynapse. Is integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 73. Orthologous to human CPT1C (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
