Description & Mechanism

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring small molecule involved in mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. In biochemical and cellular research systems, L-Carnitine functions as a carrier molecule facilitating the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle mechanism.

Within experimental models, L-Carnitine participates in reversible esterification reactions with acyl-CoA derivatives, forming acylcarnitines that are translocated into the mitochondrial matrix for β-oxidation. This process is central to studies of cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and lipid handling under controlled laboratory conditions.

L-Carnitine is widely used as a reference compound in metabolic research due to its well-characterised chemical structure, stability, and conserved biochemical role across species.

Applications in Research

  • As a molecular tool for studying mitochondrial fatty acid transport mechanisms
  • Investigation of cellular energy metabolism and β-oxidation pathways
  • Use as a reference compound in metabolic, enzymatic, and transporter assays
  • In vitro and ex vivo studies examining acylcarnitine formation and turnover

Handling & Stability

  • Store in a cool dark place. Discard 30 DAYS after opening.
  • Shelf life: 36 MONTHS from production

Precautions & Notes

  • Experimental behaviour of L-Carnitine may depend on concentration, cellular model, and metabolic state
  • Ionic strength and pH of assay buffers may influence transport and binding interactions
  • Appropriate controls are recommended to distinguish specific metabolic effects from osmotic or ionic effects
  • Intended strictly for laboratory research use; not for human or veterinary application
