Description
L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine, not a peptide, and is associated in the literature with the movement of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is used in vitro in fatty-acid transport and mitochondrial metabolism research, and is supplied as a ready-made solution at 600 mg/ml in a 10 ml vial rather than as a lyophilised powder.
