    Product Description

    Heptadecanoyl-L-carnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine composed of heptadecanoic acid (Item No. 19722) and L-carnitine (Item No. 21489). Levels of heptadecanoyl-L-carnitine are increased in dried blood spots from neonates with propionic or methylmalonic acidemias, inborn errors of metabolism characterized by a deficiency in the activity of propionyl-CoA carboxylase or L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase or its cofactor 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, respectively.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
