Descriptions:
pubchem: O-acetyl-L-carnitine is an O-acyl-L-carnitine where the acyl group specified is acetyl. It facilitates movement of acetyl-CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. It has a role as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a saturated fatty acyl-L-carnitine and an O-acetylcarnitine. It is functionally related to a carnitine. It is an enantiomer of an O-acetyl-D-carnitine.
chebi: An <em>O</em>-acyl-<small>L</small>-carnitine where the acyl group specified is acetyl. It facilitates movement of acetyl-CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids.
chembl: ACETYLCARNITINE is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database and has reached clinical trial phase 3.0.
wikipedia: Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR or ALC), also known as levacecarnine, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. It is naturally produced by the human body, and it is available as a dietary supplement. Acetylcarnitine is broken down in the blood by plasma esterases to carnitine which is used by the body to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for breakdown and energy production.
