D-Carnitine

D-Carnitine is an isomer of the conditionally essential nutrient L-carnitine (Cay-21489), which facilitates long-chain fatty acid transport into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation. It inhibits the uptake of L-carnitine by rat kidney brush border membrane vesicles when used at a concentration of 50 µM and by primary human limbal corneal (HCLE) and conjunctival epithelial (HCjE) cells when used at 0.5 and 1 mM.Formal Name: 3-carboxy-2S-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-1-propanaminium, inner salt.
