| Bioactivity | 2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine (chloride) is a gut microbial metabolite which binds to integrin α2β1 in platelets, potentiating cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activation and platelet hyperresponsiveness. 2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine (chloride) enhances platelet hyperreactivity and thrombus formation in mice. 2-Methylbutyrylcarnitine (chloride) is a branched-chain acylcarnitine[1]. |
