Description

Glycine-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the fundamental amino acid glycine, where the carbon atom at the 2-position is enriched with the 13C isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and specificity in analytical and metabolic research. It is an essential tool for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require reliable isotopic tracers for advanced studies.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a stable isotope tracer in NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to study amino acid metabolism, protein synthesis, and glycine-related biochemical pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key labeled intermediate in the synthesis of isotope-labeled drug candidates for pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Employed in the development of internal standards for quantitative bioanalysis (e.g., LC-MS/MS assays) to ensure accurate measurement of glycine and related metabolites in biological fluids.
• Nutritional Science Research: Utilized to investigate glycine metabolism, its role in collagen synthesis, and its impact on human health and sports nutrition.
• Environmental Science: Applied in studies to trace the fate and transformation of organic nitrogen compounds in environmental systems.
