9-cis-Retinal-14,15-^13C2 is a carbon-13 labeled form of 9-cis-retinal, featuring two carbon-13 isotopes at the 14 and 15 positions. This compound is used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research to study the visual cycle, as 9-cis-retinal is a key component of the phototransduction process in the retina. The carbon-13 labeling enhances the precision of analytical techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry, allowing for detailed investigations into the metabolism, binding interactions, and structural changes of retinal proteins. It is valuable for studying the dynamics of visual pigments, understanding retinal diseases, and developing therapeutic strategies for vision-related disorders.
