Gene: CHKB-CPT1B

Alternate names for this Gene: CHKL-CPT1B|CPT1-M|CPT1B|CPTI-M

Gene Summary: The genes CHKB and CPT1B are adjacent on chromosome 22 and read-through transcripts are expressed that include exons from both loci. The read-through transcripts are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and are unlikely to express proteins.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.33

Description of this Gene: CHKB-CPT1B readthrough (NMD candidate)

Type of Gene: ncRNA

Gene: CPT1B

Alternate names for this Gene: CPT1-M|CPT1M|CPTI|CPTI-M|M-CPT1|MCCPT1|MCPT1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family, is the rate-controlling enzyme of the long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway in muscle mitochondria. This enzyme is required for the net transport of long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and read-through transcripts are expressed from the upstream locus that include exons from this gene.
