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 directed movement of carboxylic acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carboxylic acids are organic acids containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). 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 into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore of quaternary ammonium compounds, any compound that can be regarded as derived from ammonium hydroxide or an ammonium salt by replacement of all four hydrogen atoms of the NH4+ ion by organic groups. 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 amines, including polyamines, organic compounds containing one or more amino groups, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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 (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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.
