DISEASE | Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACT deficiency) [MIM:212138]: A rare long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder. Metabolic consequences include hypoketotic hypoglycemia under fasting conditions, hyperammonemia, elevated creatine kinase and transaminases, dicarboxylic aciduria, very low free carnitine and abnormal acylcarnitine profile with marked elevation of the long-chain acylcarnitines. Clinical features include neurologic abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, skeletal muscle damage, liver dysfunction and episodes of life-threatening coma, which eventually lead to death. Most patients become symptomatic in the neonatal period with a rapidly progressive deterioration and a high mortality rate. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. |

Background Descriptions | SLC25A20 is one of several closely related mitochondrial membrane carrier proteins that shuttle substrates between cytosol and the intramitochondrial matrix space. It mediates the transport of acylcarnitines into the mitochondrial matrix for their oxidation by the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with carnitine acylcarnitine translocase deficiency, which can cause a variety of pathological conditions such as hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, hepatomegaly, hepatic dysfunction and muscle weakness, and is usually lethal in new born and infants. |

Synonyms | CAC, CACT |
Function | Mediates the electroneutral exchange of acylcarnitines (O- acyl-(R)-carnitine or L-acylcarnitine) of different acyl chain lengths (ranging from O-acetyl-(R)-carnitine to long-chain O-acyl-(R)- carnitines) with free carnitine ((R)-carnitine or L-carnitine) across the mitochondrial inner membrane, via a ping-pong mechanism (Probable) (PubMed:12892634, PubMed:18307102). Key player in the mitochondrial oxidation pathway, it translocates the fatty acids in the form of acylcarnitines into the mitochondrial matrix, where the carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT-2) activates them to undergo fatty acid beta-oxidation (Probable). Catalyzes the unidirectional transport (uniport) of carnitine at lower rates than the antiport (exchange) (PubMed:18307102). |
