Biochem/physiol Actions

Stearoylcarnitine is found in significantly greater amounts in patients with carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase, in conjunction with acyl-CoA synthetase and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, provides the mechanism whereby long-chain fatty acids are transferred from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix to undergo beta-oxidation.

l-Carnitine and its esters are products of intermediary metabolism of organisms. The distribution pattern or the favored excretion of individual acylcarnitines tells something about metabolic diseases. The determination of the urinary acylcarnitine pattern by flow injection analysis (FIA)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass

Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) is an enzyme catalyzing the dehydrogenation of long-chain fatty acids in the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Using an ETF (electron transfer flavoprotein, the physiological electron acceptor of VLCAD) reduction assay, we identified VLCAD

Acylcarnitine profiling from blood or plasma samples by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) has been recognized recently as a useful tool in the biochemical diagnosis of propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia together with short-chain and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies. In the

Emerging evidence suggests that protein acetylation is a broad-ranging regulatory mechanism. Here we utilize acetyl-peptide arrays and metabolomic analyses to identify substrates of mitochondrial deacetylase Sirt3. We identified ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTC) from the urea cycle, and enzymes involved in β-oxidation.
