5-Aminolevulinic-13C5-15N Acid Hydrochloride(CAT: C000362) is an isotopically labeled variant of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride Salt. This compound is a naturally occurring amino acid and serves as a crucial precursor in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles, including chlorophyll and heme. Its incorporation of stable carbon-13 (13C) and nitrogen-15 (15N) isotopes makes it a valuable tool in metabolic studies and tracing biological pathways.
