The organic cation/carnitine transporter OCTN2 mediates transport of carnitine and organic cations in Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent manners, respectively. However, the mechanism of molecular recognition of different substrates has not been clarified yet. We previously found a single amino acid change in OCTN2, Ser467Cys (S467C), in the Japanese population and observed a decreased carnit...
Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that presents episodic periods of hypoketotic hypoglycemia. The main symptoms of CDSP are skeletal and cardiac myopathy. CDSP is caused by a defect in plasma membrane uptake of carnitine, ultimately caused by the SLC22A5 gene. We report the case of a Korean patient with CDSP. He had an abnormal free carnitine le...
We investigated the influence on mitochondrial functions in carnitine deficiency caused by short-term treatment of cefteram-pivoxil (CFTM-PI) which is one of pivaloyloxymethyl-esterified antibiotics in adult volunteers and diseased children. Administration of CFTM-PI caused hypocarnitinemia in all cases, and we observed a significant elevation of blood ammonia levels compared with those after i...
We describe a fully automated, spectrophotometric assay of free and total carnitine in plasma ultrafiltrates. The method, suitable for routine application in most hospital laboratories, incorporates the hydrolysis of acylcarnitines to free carnitine within the program of a Cobas Fara II centrifugal analyzer. The hydrolysis is monitored and calibrated with standard solutions containing octanoylc...
Bleomycin is used in combination with other antineoplastic agents to effectively treat lymphomas, testicular carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix, head, and neck. However, resistance to bleomycin remains a persistent limitation in exploiting the full therapeutic benefit of the drug with other types of cancers. Previously, we documented that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae L-carni...
l-Carnitine is a vitamin-like amino acid derivative, which is an essential factor in fatty acid metabolism as acyltransferase cofactor and in energy production processes, such as interconversion in the mechanisms of regulation of cetogenesis and termogenesis, and it is also used in the therapy of primary and secondary deficiency, and in other diseases. The determination of carnitine and acyl-ca...
