Palmitoylcarnitine chloride（Cat No.:I010249）is a long-chain acylcarnitine formed from palmitic acid and carnitine, playing a key role in fatty acid transport into mitochondria for β-oxidation. It serves as an important metabolic intermediate, shuttling activated long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle system. In research, palmitoylcarnitine chloride is widely used to study cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. It also provides insights into fatty acid oxidation defects and bioenergetic regulation in health and disease.
