Metabolic & LipotropicSynthetic research compound

L-Carnitine

$59.99

600 mg

L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound with a defined role in cellular metabolism: it carries long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle.

That transport function makes it a standard reagent in laboratory research on fatty-acid oxidation, mitochondrial substrate handling, and acyl-group buffering in cultured cells.

What you should know

More detail on L-Carnitine.

Analytical values reflect per-lot documentation and appear once a batch is released.

Compound

The carnitine shuttle involves carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and II acting on either side of the inner mitochondrial membrane, and carnitine availability can be rate-influencing in that system. Laboratory applications include oxygen-consumption assays measuring fatty-acid-driven respiration, acylcarnitine profiling by mass spectrometry, and defined-media work where carnitine supplementation is required. L-Carnitine also serves as an analytical reference standard. Only the L-enantiomer is biologically active; the D form is not used in metabolic assays.
