2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine
Fatty Acid Metabolite
2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine is a fatty acid metabolite that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. It is primarily found in the blood and urine of humans and animals, produced via the pyruvate carboxylation pathway. Elevated plasma levels of 2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine are associated with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), making it a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of various metabolic diseases. This compound is useful in studies related to metabolic disorders and fatty acid transport.
