C16 Carnitine, also called as palmitoyl L-carnitine, is an endogenous acylcarnitine. Structurally, it contains Levocarnitine (L-carnitine) head group and 16 carbon saturated fatty acid tail. Palmitoyl L-carnitine is derived by reversible reaction of palmitoyl-CoA esters with carnitine. Palmitoyl L-carnitine is transported across the inner membrane by carnitine palmitoyl transferase II for β-oxidation.
Product Application:
C16 Carnitine or palmitoyl L-carnitine has been used to study its influence on the glycine transporters activity.
