Description

L-Carnitine 200 mg: research material

Buy L-Carnitine 200 mg for laboratory research, supplied as lyophilized powder in one boxed 3 mL vial.

L-Carnitine is a small molecule used in research on carnitine-dependent acyl transfer. It is not a peptide, even when it appears alongside peptides in a research catalog.

Choose the material and presentation

The L designation identifies a particular stereochemical form. Free carnitine, carnitine salts and acyl-carnitines are not interchangeable descriptions: an attached acyl group or counterion changes the material being considered.

Check the form specified by your method against the supplied records before using a molecular weight in calculations. The labeled 200 mg is a material amount, while the 3 mL figure describes vial capacity. Neither is a prepared solution concentration.

L-carnitine and acyl-transfer enzyme research

Murthy and Bieber purified a carnitine acyltransferase from rat-liver microsomes and examined reversible formation of medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines from acyl-CoA substrates. The enzyme’s maximum measured rate with decanoyl-CoA was about four times its rate with palmitoyl-CoA under the study conditions.

The authors distinguished that microsomal enzyme from mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase and peroxisomal carnitine octanoyltransferase. The result illustrates why the enzyme preparation and acyl donor matter in a carnitine assay. It does not establish an exercise, energy or body-composition effect of the catalog material.

Product records and batch reports

Available files and lot reports appear in the product documentation section. Match the chemical identity and lot before comparing analytical results. Purity and measured content should be read with their respective methods and units.

A reference structure or literature experiment does not verify the salt form, stability or suitability of an individual batch. Use the applicable product records and your laboratory method for those requirements.
