Description

Glycerol Tripalmitate 1-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of tripalmitin, a saturated triglyceride. This radiolabeled compound is a critical tool for metabolic and biochemical research, enabling precise tracking of lipid absorption, distribution, and catabolism. It is essential for researchers and scientists in the pharmaceutical, nutritional science, and biochemistry sectors who require high-purity, stable-isotope tracers for advanced analytical studies.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to study the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of dietary fats in in vitro and in vivo models.
• Lipid Biochemistry Research: Investigates enzyme kinetics (e.g., lipase activity), lipid transport mechanisms, and β-oxidation pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Supports ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) studies for lipid-based drug formulations and prodrugs.
• Nutritional Science: Tracks the fate of saturated fatty acids in nutritional studies, helping to elucidate their role in health and disease.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as a reference standard in chromatographic (e.g., HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometric analyses for lipid quantification.
