Explore free carnitine and selected short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines in the context of mitochondrial fatty acid import, acyl-group handling, and energy metabolism.
8 analytes · interactive pathway
Explore the carnitine shuttle and related acylcarnitine pools. Chain-length groups represent different acyl-CoA sources rather than a single linear reaction sequence.

Carnitine and acylcarnitine panel
Select one of the eight targets to view its biochemical context. Open the pathway graphic to explore the carnitine shuttle and how measured acylcarnitines relate to distinct fatty acyl-CoA pools.
Measured targets are shown in gold. Supporting reactions and other metabolites are shown as context only; dashed lines represent pathway association rather than direct chemical conversion.
Carnitine shuttle and acylcarnitine relationships
The CPT1–CACT–CPT2 cycle is primarily a long-chain fatty-acid import system. Short-chain and branched acylcarnitines are grouped by their acyl-CoA origins, not presented as direct interconversions. Select a target for its assay context.
