CHAPTER 24: Unit 5. Transport of Fatty Acids Acyl CoA into Mitochondria

The transport (also called carnitine shuttle) of fatty acids acyl CoA (acyl refers to a long chain fatty acids that are combined to the coenzyme) into mitochondria is facilitated by beta (β) oxidation of fatty acids themselves.In the cytosol (figure is given below), the fatty acyl group is converted into hydroxyl group of carnitine and fatty acid carnitine is produced.The fatty acid carnitine is then passing through the inner mitochondria membrane into the matrix.The figure below is the transport of fatty acids acyl into mitochondria.
