Glycerol-2-13C is a carbon-13 labeled form of glycerol, a three-carbon molecule crucial in lipid metabolism and as a building block for triglycerides and phospholipids. This labeled glycerol is used in metabolic studies to trace carbon fluxes and understand metabolic pathways involving glycerol. In pharmaceutical and biochemical research, it aids in examining glycerol’s role in energy metabolism and lipid synthesis. The carbon-13 labeling allows for detailed analysis using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, providing insights into metabolic processes, drug metabolism, and the synthesis of glycerol-derived compounds.
