Description and Uses
(C12) Dodecanoylcarnitine chloride, also known as lauroyl-L-carnitine chloride, is a synthetic compound of the amino acid carnitine and dodecanoic (laurylic) acid.
Dodecanoylcarnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine and can be used as a diagnostic indicator for various oxidation defects. Dodecanoylcarnitine of high chemical purity is used as a control for chromatographic methods with mass spectrometry.
The product is used primarily as a control for MS/MS.
Lauroyl-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 Lauroyl-L-carnitine can be diagnostic for a number of ?-oxidation defects.
