Description

Glycerol, [1,3-14C] is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of glycerol, a fundamental biochemical building block. This product is specifically designed for use as a radiolabeled tracer in metabolic and biochemical research, enabling precise tracking of glycerol's fate in complex biological systems. It is an essential tool for researchers in pharmaceutical development, lipid metabolism studies, and environmental science who require high-specific-activity, chemically pure tracers for sensitive detection methods.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used to study the metabolism of triglycerides, phospholipids, and other glycerolipids in in vitro and in vivo systems.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies for drug candidates that interact with lipid pathways.
• Biochemical Assays: Serves as a labeled substrate for enzymes such as glycerol kinase, lipases, and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
• Lipidomics Research: Facilitates the quantification and tracking of de novo lipid synthesis in cell culture and animal models.
• Environmental Science: Applied in studies investigating the biodegradation of glycerol-based compounds in various ecosystems.
