In this video I have explained the carnitine shuttle mechanism for transport of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta oxidation. Carnitine is synthesized in the liver using essential amino acids lysine and methionine. Carnitine shuttles back and forth between matrix and inter membrane space to transport LCFA into the matrix.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!
