What is L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is not a peptide. It is a small molecule that carries long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle, through the enzymes CPT1 and CPT2 and the carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. Researchers use it in studies of fatty-acid oxidation, mitochondrial metabolism and acyl-group buffering in cell models. The product is a liquid rather than a lyophilised powder, which is why it is sold by concentration and volume rather than by milligram weight. Supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use and not as a supplement.
Published research on L-carnitine fatty acid oxidation mitochondria is indexed on PubMed.

Frequently asked questions
Is L-Carnitine a peptide?
No. It is a small quaternary ammonium compound derived from amino acids, which is why it is listed under metabolic research rather than peptides.
How is it supplied?
As a 10ml solution at 600mg/ml. Check the product page for storage and handling notes for the liquid form.
What testing is on file for this product?
The catalogue lists purity as ≥98%. There is currently no linked batch certificate PDF for it, so the figure should be treated as the supplier-stated specification until one is published.
Is this a supplement?
No. It is sold as a laboratory research chemical only and is not for human or veterinary use.
