The Mitochondrial Carnitine Acyl-carnitine Carrier (SLC25A20): Molecular Mechanisms of Transport, Role in Redox Sensing and Interaction with Drugs

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
The SLC25A20 transporter, also known as carnitine acyl-carnitine carrier (CAC), catalyzes the transport of short, medium and long carbon chain acyl-carnitines across the mitochondrial inner membrane in exchange for carnitine.

The Role of l-Carnitine in Mitochondria, Prevention of Metabolic Inflexibility and Disease Initiation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Mitochondria control cellular fate by various mechanisms and are key drivers of cellular metabolism. Although the main function of mitochondria is energy production, they are also involved in cellular detoxification, cellular stabilization, as well as ...

The microbial gbu gene cluster links cardiovascular disease risk associated with red meat consumption to microbiota L-carnitine catabolism

open access: yesNature Microbiology, 2021
The heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk observed among omnivores is thought to be linked, in part, to gut microbiota-dependent generation of trimethylamine- N -oxide (TMAO) from l -carnitine, a nutrient abundant in red meat.

Metabolomic profiling reveals amino acid and carnitine alterations as metabolic signatures in psoriasis

open access: yesTheranostics, 2021
High-throughput metabolite profiling provides the opportunity to reveal metabolic mechanisms and identify biomarkers. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease. However, the role of metabolism in psoriasis pathogenesis remains unclear.

Role of Carnitine in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Other Related Diseases: An Update

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Carnitine is an amino acid-derived substance that coordinates a wide range of biological processes. Such functions include transport of long-chain fatty acids from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix, regulation of acetyl-CoA/CoA, control of inter ...

Elucidation of an anaerobic pathway for metabolism of l-carnitine–derived γ-butyrobetaine to trimethylamine in human gut bacteria

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Trimethylamine (TMA) is a disease-associated metabolite produced in the human body exclusively by microbes. Gut microbes generate TMA from essential nutrients consumed in the human diet, including l-carnitine.

Potential Role of L-Carnitine in Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
L-carnitine plays an important role in the functioning of the central nervous system, and especially in the mitochondrial metabolism of fatty acids. Altered carnitine metabolism, abnormal fatty acid metabolism in patients with autism spectrum disorder ...
