Description

D-[3-13C]Glyceraldehyde is a stable isotope-labeled analog of glyceraldehyde, a fundamental triose sugar in biochemistry. This compound is essential for advanced metabolic research and analytical applications, providing a precise tracer for studying carbohydrate metabolism, glycolysis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. It is a critical reagent for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, metabolic flux analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a 13C-labeled tracer to map and quantify intracellular metabolic pathways in microbial, plant, and mammalian systems.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Serves as a crucial standard and probe for structural elucidation and dynamic studies of enzymatic reactions involving triose sugars.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in the development and testing of drugs targeting metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and cancer, by tracing glycolytic activity.
• Biochemical Research: A key substrate for studying aldolase and triose phosphate isomerase enzyme kinetics and mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: Used in the synthesis of labeled compounds for advanced medical imaging and diagnostic assays.
• Stable Isotope Labeling: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex 13C-labeled carbohydrates and glycoconjugates.
