L-Serine-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of the amino acid L-serine, where the carbon atom at the second position is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is utilized primarily in metabolic studies and tracer experiments due to its ability to provide insights into metabolic pathways and amino acid utilization in biological systems. L-serine itself is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and the synthesis of other biomolecules, including nucleotides and phospholipids. The incorporation of the carbon-13 isotope allows researchers to track the fate of serine in various biochemical processes. L-Serine-2-13C is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies involving mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to analyze metabolic flux and dynamics. As with many isotopically labeled compounds, it is important to handle it according to safety guidelines, although it is generally considered to have low toxicity.
