PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
O-acetyl-L-carnitine is an O-acyl-L-carnitine where the acyl group specified is acetyl. It facilitates movement of acetyl-CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. It has a role as a human metabolite and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite. It is an O-acetylcarnitine and a saturated fatty acyl-L-carnitine. It is functionally related to a carnitine. It is an enantiomer of an O-acetyl-D-carnitine.
