Carnitine biosynthesis
text:
Carnitine biosynthesis is a method for the endogenous production of L-carnitine, a molecule that is essential for energy metabolism. In humans and many other animals, L-carnitine is obtained from both diet and by biosynthesis. The carnitine biosynthesis pathway is highly conserved among many eukaryotes and some prokaryotes. L-Carnitine is biosynthesized from Nε-trimethyllysine. At least four enzymes are involved in the overall biosynthetic pathway. They are Nε-trimethyllysine hydroxylase, 3-hydr
