Octadecenoylcarnitine
Explanation: Octadecenoylcarnitine is a compound naturally produced in the body during the breakdown of fatty acids for energy. It helps convert these fats into energy. Elevated levels are indicative of fatty acid oxidation disorders such as Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency, Carnitine palmitoyl transferase type II deficiency, and Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
Test Purpose: Diagnose fatty acid oxidation such as Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency, Carnitine palmitoyl transferase type II deficiency, and Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
