NCIt definition : Human CPT1A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q13.3 and is approximately
90 kb in length. This allele, which encodes carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, liver
isoform protein, plays a role in the modification and mitochondrial uptake of long-chain
fatty acids and the metabolism of triglycerides by the liver. Loss of function mutations
of the gene are associated with carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A deficiency.;
