Product Details

Description:
L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound, a derivative of the amino acids lysine and methionine. This product is supplied as a sterile, concentrated solution, recognized for its distinct chemical structure and high water solubility.

In a research context, L-Carnitine is a critical tool for studying cellular energy metabolism. Its primary investigated function is its role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent β-oxidation. It is widely used in in vitro models to explore cellular respiration, fatty acid metabolism, and the carnitine shuttle system.
