Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences L Carnitine Assay Kit suff
Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences MAK0631KT
Carnitine is a metabolite that is synthesized from lysine and methionine. Carnitine is essential for fatty acid beta-oxidation due to its role in fatty acid transport into the mitochondrial matrix via the carnitine/acylcarnitine shuttle. Carnitine exists in two stereoisomers but only the L-carnitine isomer is biologically active. Tissue levels of L-carnitine decrease with aging and decreased L-carnitine may contribute to age-related mitochondrial decline. The L-Carnitine Assay Kit is a simple convenient means of measuring free L-Carnitine in biological samples such as serum.
