2.A.29.8.5
The carnitine:acylcarnitine exchange translocase, CACL. CACL is similar in tissue distribution to that of CACT (TC# 2.A.29.8.3); both are expressed at a higher level in tissues using fatty acids as fuels, except the brain, where only CACL is expressed (Sekoguchi et al., 2003)

Species:Mus musculus (Mouse) [10090]
Number of TMSs:4
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Mitochondrion inner membrane1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
