L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine; it is not a peptide. It carries long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane through the carnitine shuttle, where CPT1 and CPT2 act on them. Laboratories use it to study fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial energetics and acyl-carnitine metabolism in cell and tissue models.
