Apexbio Technology LLC (±)-Octanoylcarnitine chloride,50mg CAS# 14919-35-8
Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC B637150
(±)-Octanoylcarnitine chloride is a homolog of acetylcarnitine chloride. Acylcarnitines, the acetyl derivatives of carnitine, are important intermediates in lipid metabolism, required for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation and ATP production, and for the removal of excess short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. (±)-Octanoylcarnitine has been shown to decrease the oxidation rate of the branched-chain 2-oxo acids 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate and 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate in isolated rat muscle mitochondria in the presence of carnitine, but octanoyl-L-carnitine increases oxidation of 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate in the absence of carnitine. In addition, (±)-octanoylcarnitine, along with malate, has been used as a mitochondrial respiration substrate to evaluate the effect of creatine on the respiration rate of isolated rat cardiac fibers exposed to increasing concentrations of ADP. Other sizes are also available. Please inqury us for quote.
