3-Methylglutarylcarnitine

Description:

3-Methylglutarylcarnitine, with the CAS number 102673-95-0, is a derivative of carnitine, a quaternary ammonium compound involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. This compound features a methyl group at the third position of the glutarylcarnitine structure, which influences its biochemical properties and metabolic pathways. It is primarily studied in the context of metabolic disorders, particularly those related to fatty acid oxidation. 3-Methylglutarylcarnitine can be detected in biological fluids and is often associated with certain inborn errors of metabolism, such as 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. Its presence can serve as a biomarker for diagnosing these conditions. The compound is typically soluble in water and exhibits stability under physiological conditions, making it relevant for research in metabolic health and potential therapeutic applications. Understanding its role in metabolism can provide insights into energy production and the implications of carnitine-related deficiencies.
