(±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride (CAS 17298-37-2)
QUICK LINKS
(±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride is a homolog of acetylcarnitine chloride (sc-203495). Acylcarnitines are important intermediates in lipid metabolism. Propionylcarnitine is involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, similar to carnitine, but with a specificity towards short and medium-chain fatty acids due to the propionyl group. The presence of both enantiomers in the racemic mixture raises interesting points for study, as the biological activity of each enantiomer can differ. Research into compounds like (±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride involves exploring these differences and their implications for metabolism and energy production at the cellular level. the study of modified carnitine derivatives like (±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride contributes to our understanding of metabolic regulation.
