FunFam 3: Carnitine acetyl transferase FacC

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 3 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Carnitine O-acetyltransferase activity GO:0004092
Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + carnitine = (R)-O-acetylcarnitine + CoA.
1 Q5BEH1 (/ISA)
Carnitine O-acetyltransferase activity GO:0004092
Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + carnitine = (R)-O-acetylcarnitine + CoA.
1 Q5BEH1 (/RCA)
Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity GO:0004095
Catalysis of the reaction: palmitoyl-CoA + L-carnitine = CoA + L-palmitoylcarnitine.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cellular respiration GO:0045333
The enzymatic release of energy from inorganic and organic compounds (especially carbohydrates and fats) which either requires oxygen (aerobic respiration) or does not (anaerobic respiration).
2 Q59T80 (/IMP) Q59T80 (/IMP)
Carnitine shuttle GO:0006853
The transfer of acyl groups to and from acyl-CoA molecules to form O-acylcarnitine, which can exchange across the mitochondrial inner membrane with unacylated carnitine.
1 Q5BEH1 (/RCA)
Carnitine metabolic process GO:0009437
The chemical reactions and pathways involving carnitine (hydroxy-trimethyl aminobutyric acid), a compound that participates in the transfer of acyl groups across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
1 P80235 (/IMP)
Acetate catabolic process GO:0045733
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetate, the anion of acetic acid.
1 Q5BEH1 (/IMP)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cytosol GO:0005829
The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
2 Q59T80 (/IDA) Q59T80 (/IDA)
Mitochondrion GO:0005739
A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration.
