DL-Homocysteine-d4（Cat No.:S000590） is a specialized form of homocysteine, an amino acid involved in methionine metabolism and a marker for cardiovascular disease risk. The “d4” designation indicates that four hydrogen atoms in the homocysteine molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of homocysteine metabolism and its role in various biochemical pathways using techniques like mass spectrometry. DL-Homocysteine-d4 is valuable in metabolic studies, helping researchers understand the pathophysiology of conditions related to homocysteine metabolism, such as cardiovascular disease, and facilitating the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
