L-Palmitoylcarnitine TFA (Cat No.: I045596) is the trifluoroacetate salt of L-palmitoylcarnitine, a long-chain acylcarnitine formed from palmitic acid and carnitine. It plays a key role in mitochondrial fatty acid transport, enabling β-oxidation and energy production. Elevated levels of palmitoylcarnitine are associated with metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and mitochondrial disorders. In research, L-Palmitoylcarnitine TFA is used to study lipid metabolism, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and metabolic disease mechanisms. Its salt form enhances solubility, making it suitable for biochemical and physiological investigations.
