| Description | L-Carnitine, also known as carnitine D-form, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carnitines. These are organic compounds containing the quaternary ammonium compound carnitine. L-Carnitine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, L-carnitine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, propionyl-CoA and L-carnitine can be converted into propionylcarnitine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme carnitine O-acetyltransferase. In addition, 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA and L-carnitine can be converted into 4,8 dimethylnonanoyl carnitine through the action of the enzyme peroxisomal carnitine O-octanoyltransferase. In humans, L-carnitine is involved in oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. (+)-carnitine is found in Apis cerana. The (S)-enantiomer of carnitine. |
