Description
The ModifiSite™ L-Carnitine Assay Kit assesses mitochondrial fatty acid transport capacity, validating therapies for carnitine deficiency and metabolic myopathies. By quantifying L-Carnitine concentration, it supports studies on beta-oxidation defects and the efficiency of fat metabolism. This assay is essential for the development of metabolic supplements and drugs designed to improve mitochondrial function and energy production.

Background
L-Carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. It is essential for energy metabolism and deficiency can lead to the accumulation of lipids in muscle and liver.
