Carnitine is a well-known cofactor for the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acid. It also plays a role in transport of acetyl moity for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, excretion of organic acid and xenobiotic acid as carnitine ester, and control of ratio of acetylCoA to CoA. Therapeutic effect of acetylcarnitine on Alzheimer disease and HIV-infection, and aberrant incorporation acetylcarnitine into brain under
chronic fatigue syndrome
have been reported.
Carnitine deficiency
causes hyperammonemia through suppression of gene expression of urea cycle enzymes. On the other hand, a large amount of carnitine has a therapeutic effect on hyperammonemia by still unclear mechanism. These suggest carnitine as a multifunctional biofactor.
