How It Works

Acts as a carrier molecule for long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane, facilitating beta-oxidation and energy production.

Mechanism Steps

1Levo-carnitine is transported into cells via OCTN2 transporters.
2Inside cells, it forms acyl-carnitine esters with long-chain fatty acids via carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I).
3Acyl-carnitine is shuttled across the inner mitochondrial membrane by carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase.
