Octanoylcarnitine Chloride(CAT: R009872) is a medium-chain acylcarnitine compound consisting of octanoic acid (C8:0) conjugated to L-carnitine, supplied as a chloride salt for enhanced stability and solubility. It serves as a key intermediate in fatty acid β-oxidation and mitochondrial energy metabolism. Octanoylcarnitine is commonly used in metabolic research to study fatty acid transport, mitochondrial function, and metabolic disorders such as carnitine deficiency and fatty acid oxidation defects. It also plays a role in biomarker profiling for inborn errors of metabolism.
