Physical and Chemical Properties | White crystalline powder, soluble in water, ethanol-soluble, insoluble in acetone, easy deliquescence yellow. |
Use | Used in medicine, nutrition food additives, feed additives |
In vitro study | When expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells, hOCTN2 (SLC22A5) shows low but significant stereospecific transport activity: D-carnitine is transported with lower affinity (K m =10.9 μM) than the L-isomer (K m =4.3 μM). |
Biological activity | Carnitine is derived from lysine biosynthesis, which may be related to the energy production of branched-chain amino acids. |
use | used in medicine, nutritional food additives, feed additives, etc. |
