| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Oleoyl-L-carnitine is a long-chain fatty ester of carnitine which is accumulated and released into the circulation, in fatty-acid oxidation defects. Pattern of Oleoyl-L-carnitine can be diagnostic for a number of ?-oxidation defects. | [Uses]
Oleoyl-L-carnitine is used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in biological samples using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique. | [Definition]
ChEBI: (R)-oleoylcarnitine is an O-acyl-L-carnitine in which the acyl group is specified as oleoyl. It has a role as a human metabolite and a glycine transporter 2 inhibitor. It is functionally related to an oleic acid. | [General Description]
Oleoyl-L-carnitine belongs to the class of long-chain acylcarnitines, the fatty acyl esters of L-carnitine. Its role as a potential analgesic agent and ability to inhibit the glycine transport by GlyT2 transporter is investigated. |
