C26 Carnitine-d9 is a stable isotopically labeled form of carnitine, which is a quaternary ammonium compound naturally synthesized from amino acids lysine and methionine in the human body. Its isotopic labeling with deuterium enhances its application in various analytical techniques while retaining the biological properties of natural carnitine. The mode of action involves carnitine's essential role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for β-oxidation, facilitating energy production. C26 Carnitine-d9 is used primarily in metabolic research and diagnostics, particularly in studying fatty acid metabolism, assessing metabolic disorders, and quantifying carnitine levels in biological samples through techniques such as mass spectrometry. Its stable isotopic label allows for precise tracking and quantitation, offering insights into metabolic pathways and biochemical assays crucial for understanding metabolic functions and potential dysfunctions.
