Isobutyryl-L-Carnitine Analysis Service

Isobutyryl-L-carnitine is an ester formed by the combination of isobutyric acid and L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound that plays a crucial role in transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for β-oxidation. Isobutyryl-L-carnitine is a derivative of L-carnitine, characterized by the attachment of an isobutyryl group (a branched four-carbon chain). This molecule is commonly found in biological systems as part of the intermediate metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, particularly valine. 

 

In clinical and research applications, the analysis of isobutyryl-L-carnitine is essential for diagnosing metabolic disorders, monitoring metabolic status, and understanding metabolic changes under various physiological or pathological conditions. Additionally, it is often measured in targeted metabolomics studies focused on branched-chain amino acid metabolism.
