Carnitine shuttle is involved in ?
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Fatty acid oxidationVery sho chain, sho chain, medium chain and long chain fatty acids get oxidized in mitochondria,Very sho chain, sho chain and medium chain fatty acids can cross inner mitochondrial membrane by passive diffusion,Long chain fatty acids cannot cross the inner mitochondrial membrane. Hence they need a carrier. The carrier is carnitine.Carnitine is p hydroxy y N trimethylaminobutyric acid. It is synthesized from lysine.
