2-Ketoglutaric acid-13C（Cat No.:S000530） is an isotopically labeled version of 2-ketoglutaric acid (also known as alpha-ketoglutarate), where one or more of its carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. Alpha-ketoglutarate is a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, a central metabolic pathway that generates energy through the oxidation of sugars, fats, and proteins. The incorporation of carbon-13 enhances the traceability of alpha-ketoglutarate in metabolic studies, facilitating detailed research into cellular respiration and energy production.
