β-Alanine-d4（Cat No.:S000740） is a deuterated form of β-alanine, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, enhancing its molecular stability. This modification is particularly valuable for use as an internal standard in analytical methods such as mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. β-Alanine is a naturally occurring beta amino acid, important for the synthesis of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and as a component in the synthesis of carnosine in muscles. The deuterium in β-alanine-d4 allows for more precise pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies, helping researchers to better understand its role and metabolism in biological systems.
