L-Carnitine Assay Kit. Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is required for transport of fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix via the carnitine/acylcarnitine shuttle where β-oxidation occurs, acetate is generated and the acetate utilized in the TCA cycle for the generation of energy. L-Carnitine is often sold as antioxidant in nutritional supplements. Carnitine exists in two stereoisomers. Only L-carnitine is biologically active. BioVision's L-Carnitine Assay Kit is a simple convenient means of measuring free L-Carnitine in biological samples such as serum. The assay transfers an acetyl group from Ac-CoA to carnitine and the free CoA formed is further processed with subsequent oxidation of the Oxi-Red probe to give fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) and absorbance (λmax = 570 nm). The detection sensitivity for fluorometric assay is ~ 1 mM of L-Carnitine in various samples. Fluorometric assay is ~10X more sensitive than colorimetric assay.
