D-Phenylalanine-d8（Cat No.:I043742）is a stable isotope-labeled form of D-phenylalanine, an essential aromatic amino acid involved in protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and metabolism. The “d8” designation indicates that the molecule contains eight deuterium atoms, heavier isotopes of hydrogen. This modification makes D-Phenylalanine-d8 useful in metabolic research, particularly for tracing phenylalanine metabolism and studying protein turnover in biological systems. It is commonly used in isotope labeling experiments, mass spectrometry, and proteomics to analyze amino acid incorporation, enabling detailed studies of protein function, biosynthesis, and metabolic pathways in both basic and clinical research.
