Description

D-[1,2,3-13C3]Glyceraldehyde is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the fundamental three-carbon sugar, glyceraldehyde, where three carbon atoms are enriched with the 13C isotope. This compound is an essential tracer and internal standard for advanced metabolic flux analysis and quantitative mass spectrometry studies. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors to investigate carbohydrate metabolism, glycolysis, and biosynthetic pathways with high precision.

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): A critical tracer for quantifying intracellular metabolic pathway rates and network activity in cell cultures and microorganisms.
• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a high-purity internal standard for the accurate quantification of glyceraldehyde and related metabolites in complex biological samples.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies and as a building block for the synthesis of other 13C-labeled sugars and nucleotides to trace biochemical transformations.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to trace the metabolic fate of drug candidates that interact with carbohydrate pathways.
• Nutritional Science: Applied in research to understand human carbohydrate metabolism, energy utilization, and metabolic disorders like diabetes.
• Stable Isotope Labeling: A key precursor for the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of more complex, site-specifically 13C-labeled biomolecules.
