Description

5-cis-Tetradecenoyl carnitine is a fatty acid that belongs to the group of branched-chain fatty acids. It can be found in animal and plant sources, but is not synthesized by humans. 5-cis-Tetradecenoyl carnitine has been shown to be elevated in plasma samples from women with polyps as well as from individuals with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. This compound may serve as a diagnostic biomarker for these conditions. Additionally, it has been shown to be involved in sphingolipid metabolism and fatty acid synthesis, which may be related to its potential use as a potential biomarker.
