Información del producto

• Nombre: (S)-2-Hydroxypentanoic acid
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: (S)-2-Hydroxypentanoic acid is a malate molecule that is found in the human body. It can be used as an adjuvant therapy for cancer, and has been shown to have a protective effect on the liver. The structural studies of (S)-2-hydroxypentanoic acid have revealed that it is a substrate molecule, which will bind to the enzyme dehydrogenase. This binding leads to the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex, which can be studied using biochemical methods such as profiles and kinetic studies. The binding of (S)-2-hydroxypentanoic acid to dehydrogenase results in an increase in acid-reactive substances and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, which are both indicators of oxidative stress. Research has also shown that mutant enzymes can lead to increased levels of (S)-2-hydroxypentanoic acid.
