L-Carnitine (Injectable)

Molecular Formula: C₇H₁₅NO₃ · 161.20 g/mol

Description: L-Carnitine is an endogenous quaternary ammonium amino-acid derivative that functions as an essential cofactor in the mitochondrial transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle. In metabolic and cellular research models, it is investigated for its role in fatty-acid beta-oxidation, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and the buffering of acyl-CoA pools through reversible acylcarnitine formation. It is frequently studied as a biomarker and mechanistic probe in models of energy substrate utilization, oxidative metabolism, and mitochondrial function.
