D-Valine-d8（Cat No.:I043809）is a stable isotope-labeled form of D-valine, a branched-chain amino acid essential for protein synthesis and metabolism. The “d8” indicates that the molecule contains eight deuterium atoms, which are heavier isotopes of hydrogen. This modification makes D-Valine-d8 valuable in scientific research, particularly in metabolic studies and mass spectrometry. It is used to track metabolic pathways, protein turnover, and amino acid incorporation in biological systems. D-Valine-d8 is often employed in isotope labeling experiments, helping researchers investigate protein synthesis, degradation, and other metabolic processes in both basic and applied research.
