We set out to determine if the cDNA encoding a carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT)-like
protein recently isolated from rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) by Yamazaki et al.(Yamazaki,
N., Shinohara, Y., Shima, A., and Terada, H.(1995) FEBS Lett. 363, 41-45) actually encodes
the muscle isoform of mitochondrial CPT I (M-CPT I). To this end, a cDNA essentially
identical to the original BAT clone was isolated from a rat heart library. When expressed in
COS cells, the novel cDNA and our previously described cDNA for rat liver CPT I (L-CPT I) …
