Beta-Oxidation of Fatty Acids Lipid Metabolism · Mitochondrial matrix (peroxisome for VLCFA)

step 3 Irreversible/directional

Acylcarnitine (cytosolic side) → acylcarnitine (matrix side)

Converts Acylcarnitine into Acylcarnitine

Notes

The inner-membrane carnitine–acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) exchanges incoming acylcarnitine for free carnitine moving outward. No ATP is directly consumed.
