3-METHYLGLUTARYLCARNITINE

Uses

3-Methylglutarylcarnitine is derived from DL-Carnitine Benzyl Ester Chloride (C184135), which is an intermediate in the synthesis of 3-Hydroxybutyrylcarnitine Hydrochloride (H830900), a reagent used to study acylcarnitine profile in thyroid disease.

Biological Activity

3-Me-Glutaryl Carnitine metabolite may be found in urine samples. The detection of 3-methylglutarylcarnitine and other metabolites may play a role in a treatment strategy for carnitine deficiency.
