DescriptionDodecanoylcarnitine (lauroylcarnitine) is a long-chain fatty acid ester of carnitine with lauric acid. Carnitine is used for the transport of fatty acids during beta-oxidation, during what fatty acids are broken down to acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is then used in the glyoxylate cycle for gluconeogenesis and formation of carbohydrates, or transported to mitochondrion for the generation of metabolic energy through the citric acid cycle.
