Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetradecanoylcarnitine
DescriptionTetradecanoylcarnitine, also known as myristoylcarnitine, is a member of the class of compounds known as acylcarnitines. Acylcarnitines are organic compounds containing a fatty acid with the carboxylic acid attached to carnitine through an ester bond. Acylcarnitines are useful in the diagnosis of genetic disorders such as fatty acid oxidation disorders and differentiation between biochemical phenotypes of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency disorders (PMID: 12385891 ). Tetradecanoylcarnitine is involved in the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids (PMID: 16425363 ). Tetradecanoylcarnitine is found to be associated with glutaric aciduria II, which is an inborn error of metabolism.
