3-Methylglutarylcarnitine Chloride(CAT: C001121) is a specialized acylcarnitine derivative involved in mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism and the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for β-oxidation. It is formed from the conjugation of 3-methylglutaric acid with carnitine and plays a role in energy production, particularly in tissues with high energy demands like the heart and skeletal muscles. This compound is significant in metabolic research and is used as a biomarker for diagnosing organic acidurias, such as 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, a disorder related to mitochondrial dysfunction. It is valuable in studying metabolic diseases and mitochondrial disorders.
