WHAT DOES CARNITINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Carnitine

Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. In living cells, it is required for the transport of fatty acids from the intermembraneous space in the mitochondria, into the mitochondrial matrix during the breakdown of lipids for the generation of metabolic energy. It is widely available as a nutritional supplement. Carnitine was originally found as a growth factor for mealworms and labeled vitamin BT, although carnitine is not a proper vitamin. Carnitine exists in two stereoisomers: its biologically active form is L-carnitine, whereas its enantiomer, D-carnitine, is biologically inactive.

Definition of carnitine in the English dictionary

The definition of carnitine in the dictionary is a white betaine, C7H15NO3, that is found in the liver and is required for transporting fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria.
