L-Phenylalanine-d2（Cat No.:S000588） is a specialized form of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid critical for protein synthesis and neurotransmitter production. The “d2” designation indicates that two hydrogen atoms in the phenylalanine molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of phenylalanine metabolism and its incorporation into proteins and neurotransmitters using techniques like mass spectrometry. L-Phenylalanine-d2 serves as a valuable tool in metabolic studies, elucidating pathways related to protein turnover, neurotransmitter regulation, and phenylalanine metabolism disorders such as phenylketonuria, contributing to advancements in both basic research and clinical applications.
