L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine) 10ml
£11.99
L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine) is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound central to mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. It functions as the carrier molecule of the carnitine shuttle, facilitating transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via reversible esterification with acyl-CoA to form acylcarnitines for β-oxidation. Widely used as a reference compound in metabolic research due to its well-characterised structure, stability and conserved biochemical role. Supplied as a clear 10ml liquid, manufactured to ≥99% chemical purity. CAS 541-15-1 · C7H15NO3 · 161.20 g/mol. Water-soluble; store in a cool dark place, discard 30 days after opening. Strictly for laboratory research use.
