an acetic acid ester of carnitine that facilitates movement of acetyl coa into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. An acetic acid ester of carnitine that facilitates movement of acetyl CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. In addition to his metabolic role, acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) posses unique neuroprotective, neuromodulatory, and neurotrophic properties this may play an important role in counteracting various disease processes.
