Octanoyl-L-carnitine chloride
QUICK LINKS
Octanoyl-L-carnitine chloride is a compound that functions as an acyl group carrier in the mitochondrial membrane, facilitating the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. This process allows for the generation of energy through the breakdown of fatty acids. Octanoyl-L-carnitine chloride interacts with carnitine acyltransferase enzymes, enabling the transfer of acyl groups from coenzyme A to carnitine for transport across the mitochondrial membrane. This compound plays a role in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism by facilitating the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be utilized as an energy source. I Octanoyl-L-carnitine chloride′s mode of action involves its interaction with specific enzymes and transport proteins, contributing to the fatty acid metabolism and energy production within cells.
