The correct sequence for transport of fatty acyl groups from the cytosol to the matrix is:
A.carnitine acyltransferase I
B.tranaslocase of carnitine and O-acylcarnitine
C.carnitine acyltransferase II
D.fatty acyl-CoA synthesis
E.O-acylcarnitine
F.Fatty acyl-CoA in matrix

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence starts with fatty acyl-CoA synthesis in the cytosol (D), followed by the action of carnitine acyltransferase I (A) which converts the fatty acyl-CoA to O-acylcarnitine (E). The O-acylcarnitine is then transported into the matrix via the translocase of carnitine and O-acylcarnitine (B). Inside the matrix, carnitine acyltransferase II (C) converts O-acylcarnitine back to fatty acyl-CoA (F), which can then enter the beta-oxidation pathway.
