L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary amine used in research to study fatty-acid transport and mitochondrial energy metabolism, especially the carnitine shuttle system that moves long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation.

• Research class: Endogenous metabolite (quaternary ammonium compound)

• Primary research purpose: Investigation of mitochondrial fatty-acid transport and β-oxidation pathway regulation

• Key biochemical role: Transfers acyl groups via CPT1/CPT2 and carnitine–acylcarnitine translocase (carnitine shuttle)

• Common research endpoints: Acylcarnitine profiling, fatty-acid oxidation markers, mitochondrial function readouts, and metabolic stress indicators

For research use only. Not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.

This is an older batch. As such we am selling for a lower amount, but the product itself shows no signs of degradation and looks normal.
