2-Methylbutyryl-L-carnitine is not usually detected in normal individuals. The elevation of 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine suggests a deficiency of a dehydrogenase specific for isobutyryl-CoA, important in the differential diagnosis of branched chain organic acidurias by analysis of urinary organic acids and acylcarnitines in plasma or dried blood spots.

The pool of different carnitine derivatives is formed by carnitine, acetylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine and isovalerylcarnitine. Isovalerylcarnitine is a compound performing activities that differ from those of the other carnitine esters. Its activity on proteolytic enzymes and on the calpain system has
