Biochem/physiol Actions

Increased formation and excretion of glutarylcarnitin results from a glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, an inborn error of lysine and tryptophan metabolism. Secondary carnitine depletion due to increased formation and urinary excretion of glutarylcarnitine is suggested to play an important role in the neuropathogenesis of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, inducing excitotoxic neuronal damage and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is an inherited organic aciduria with predominantly neurological presentation. Biochemically, it is characterized by an accumulation and enhanced urinary excretion of two key organic acids, glutaric acid and 3-hydroxyglutaric acid. If untreated, acute striatal degeneration is often
