Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylbutyroylcarnitine
Description2-Methylbutyroylcarnitine 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, 2-methylbutyroylcarnitine is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. 2-Methylbutyroylcarnitine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
