Description

Glutaroyl Carnitine is a specialized acylcarnitine derivative, a key intermediate in mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. This high-purity compound is essential for research and development in metabolic studies and diagnostic applications. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, clinical diagnostic manufacturers, and academic institutions focused on inborn errors of metabolism.

Application

• Biomarker Research: Critical standard and reference material for the identification and quantification of glutaroylcarnitine in biological samples via LC-MS/MS.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Used in the production of calibrators and controls for newborn screening kits targeting glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I).
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the development of therapies for metabolic disorders.
• Metabolomics Studies: Employed in research to map and understand metabolic pathways involving fatty acid and amino acid catabolism.
• Enzyme Activity Assays: Used as a substrate in assays to study the function of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and related enzymes.
• Quality Control: Acts as an internal standard in analytical laboratories to ensure accuracy and precision in diagnostic testing.
