|
|
Coated vesicle
|
|
|
Carnitine
|
|
|
Cadherin
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carnitine (-hydroxy--trimethylammonium butyrate) is a hydrophilic quaternary amine that plays an essential role in energy metabolism. The main function of carnitine is the transfer of long-chain fatty acids to mitochondria for subsequent -oxidation [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -The fatty acyl group is transported into the mitochondrial matrix, where it undergoes beta-oxidation. In the intermembrane space of the mitochondria, fatty acyl CoA reacts with carnitine in a reaction catalyzed by carnitine acyltransferase I (CAT-I), yielding CoA and fatty acyl carnitine.
