In enzymology a carnitine O-acetyltransferase (CRAT or CAT) (EC 2.3.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + carnitine CoA + O-acetylcarnitineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and carnitine whereas its two products are CoA and O-acetylcarnitine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases to be specific those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
