Notes: Oleoyl-L-carnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine and an inhibitor of glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2; IC50 = 340 nM).{65783,65784} It is selective for GlyT2 over GlyT1 (IC50 = >10,000 nM). Plasma levels of oleoyl-L-carnitine are increased in patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease receiving incident hemodialysis and these are associated with cardiovascular mortality.{65783}
