L-Carnitine-13C3

L-Carnitine-13C3 ((R) -Carnitine-13C3) is the 13C--labeled L-Carnitine (HY-B0399) . L-Carnitine ((R) -Carnitine), a highly polar, small zwitterion, is an essential co-factor for the mitochondrial β-oxidation pathway. L-Carnitine functions to transport long chain fatty acyl-CoAs into the mitochondria for degradation by β-oxidation. L-Carnitine is an antioxidant. L-Carnitine can ameliorate metabolic imbalances in many inborn errors of metabolism[1][2][3].
