L-Carnitine 13000mg 650mg/ml 20ml

Description

DESCRIPTION

L-Carnitine 13000mg a quaternary ammonium compound (C7H15NO3) supplied as a 650mg/ml liquid solution (20ml vial) for in vitro and laboratory model investigation of the carnitine shuttle, the transport system that conjugates long-chain fatty acyl groups for translocation across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-I/CPT-II) and carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase mechanism.

RESEARCH AREAS

• Carnitine shuttle research — studied for long-chain fatty acyl-CoA translocation across mitochondrial membranes in cell models.
• CPT enzyme kinetics — investigated for carnitine palmitoyltransferase and acylcarnitine translocase activity in cell-free systems.
• Acyl-CoA pool modulation — characterized for free-carnitine to acylcarnitine ratio buffering in vitro.
• Mitochondrial beta-oxidation — studied for substrate handling in cultured cell and tissue homogenate models.

WHAT RESEARCHERS LOOK AT

• Quantification of free carnitine and acylcarnitine species by LC-MS/MS in assay matrices.
• Enzyme activity assays measuring CPT-mediated acyl-group transfer rates.
• Mitochondrial respiration and oxygen-consumption profiling in isolated mitochondria preparations.
• Dose-concentration relationships and stability characterization in buffer systems.
