isovalerylcarnitine (Valine, leucine and isoleucine metabolism; Amino acid)
Biochemical locus-metabolite relationshipSLC22A4 and SLC22A5 encode the OCTN1 and OCTN2 organic cation transporters and both have documented carnitine transport activity [21045919]. Ratio interpretation: isovalerylcarnitine is related to isovaleryl-CoA, an intermediate in the breakdown of branch chain amino acid, leucine. Valine, as an additional branch chain amino acid, may be normalizing for the branch chain amino acid pool ('normalizing').
