Function |
Valerylcarnitine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylcarnitines. These are organic compounds containing a fatty acid with the carboxylic acid attached to carnitine through an ester bond. Valerylcarnitine is considered to be a practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral molecule. Valerylcarnitine is a fatty ester lipid molecule. Valerylcarnitine can be found in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine. Within a cell, valerylcarnitine is primarily located in the extracellular space and near the membrane. Valerylcarnitine can be found in cow's milk.
