Description

D-Carnitine is an orally available isomer of the essential nutrient L-carnitine that promotes long-chain fatty acid transport into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation. D-Carnitine has antiparasitic activity[1][2][3].

In Vitro

D-Carnitine (0.5 μM) can inhibit the uptake of L-carnitine by renal brush marginal membrane vesicles in rats[1].
D-Carnitine (0.5, 1 μM) inhibits the uptake of L-carnitine by primary human limbal (HCLE) and conjunctival epithelium (HCjE) cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
