(-)-Myristoylcarnitine

Description:

(-)-Myristoylcarnitine is a naturally occurring compound that plays a significant role in lipid metabolism, particularly in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. It is an acylcarnitine derivative, specifically the myristoyl (tetradecanoyl) ester of carnitine. This compound is characterized by its long hydrophobic carbon chain, which enhances its ability to facilitate the transport of fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane. (-)-Myristoylcarnitine is typically found in various biological systems and is involved in metabolic processes related to energy homeostasis. Its structure includes a carnitine backbone, which is essential for the transport of fatty acids, and a myristoyl group that contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The compound is of interest in research related to metabolic disorders, obesity, and energy metabolism, as it may influence the utilization of fatty acids in cellular respiration. Additionally, its stereochemistry, indicated by the prefix "(-)", suggests that it is the levorotatory form of myristoylcarnitine, which may have specific biological activities compared to its enantiomer.
