D-[5-13C]glucose is a stable isotope-labeled form of glucose, where the carbon atom at the 5th position is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This modification allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in research involving carbohydrate metabolism and flux analysis. D-[5-13C]glucose retains the fundamental characteristics of glucose, including its role as a primary energy source for cells and its involvement in various metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope makes it detectable by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, facilitating detailed studies of metabolic processes. This compound is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies related to nutrition, metabolism, and disease states. As with other forms of glucose, it is soluble in water and has a sweet taste, but its isotopic labeling provides unique insights into metabolic pathways without altering the fundamental biochemical properties of glucose.
