  • Carnitinen dannes gennem flere enzymatiske trin, hvor to trin katalyseres af 2-OGDO enzymerne: trimethyllysine hydroxylase ( TMLH ) og gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase ( BBOX eller GBBH), hvor Fe2+ er cofactor (3). (blogspot.com)
  • It catalyses the following reaction: 4-trimethylammoniobutanoate (γ-butyrobetaine) + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 3-hydroxy-4-trimethylammoniobutanoate (L-carnitine) + succinate + CO2 The three substrates of this enzyme are 4-trimethylammoniobutanoate (γ-butyrobetaine), 2-oxoglutarate, and O2, whereas its three products are 3-hydroxy-4-trimethylammoniobutanoate (L-carnitine), succinate, and carbon dioxide.
