DL-HOMOCYSTEINE-3,3,4,4-D4

Description:

DL-Homocysteine-3,3,4,4-D4 is a deuterated form of homocysteine, an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. This compound is characterized by the presence of deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which replaces certain hydrogen atoms in the molecule, enhancing its stability and making it useful in various research applications, particularly in metabolic studies and tracer experiments. The presence of deuterium allows for improved detection and quantification in mass spectrometry. DL-Homocysteine itself is involved in several biochemical pathways, including the synthesis of cysteine and the metabolism of methionine. Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with cardiovascular diseases, making its study significant in medical research. The deuterated version, DL-Homocysteine-3,3,4,4-D4, is often utilized in studies that require precise tracking of metabolic processes without interference from naturally occurring isotopes. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety protocols should be followed when working with this compound.
