| Description: | Palmitoyl-L-carnitine chloride (L-Palmitoylcarnitine chloride) is a long-chain acylcarnitine and a fatty acid metabolite, accumulates in the sarcolemma and deranges the membrane lipid environment during ischaemia. Palmitoyl-L-carnitine chloride inhibits KATP channel activity, without affecting the single channel conductance, through interaction with Kir6.2. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
