Metabolite Identification
Common NameO-Tetradecanoylcarnitine
DescriptionO-Tetradecanoylcarnitine, also known as myristoylcarnitine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyl carnitines. These are organic compounds containing a fatty acid with the carboxylic acid attached to carnitine through an ester bond. Thus, O-tetradecanoylcarnitine is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. O-Tetradecanoylcarnitine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
