The directed movement of vitamins into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. The transfer of acyl groups to and from acyl-CoA molecules to form O-acylcarnitine, which can exchange across the mitochondrial inner membrane with unacylated carnitine. The directed movement of a cofactor into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A cofactor is a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of substances within a cell. The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents across a membrane. The process whereby a solute is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. This process includes the actual movement of the solute, and any regulation and preparatory steps, such as reduction of the solute. The directed movement of betaine, the N-trimethyl derivative of an amino acid, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. The directed movement of fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. The directed movement of carnitine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carnitine is a compound that participates in the transfer of acyl groups across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The directed movement of long-chain fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A long-chain fatty acid is an aliphatic compound with a terminal carboxyl group and with a chain length greater than C12. The directed movement of lipids within cells. Transport of substances into, out of or within a mitochondrion.
