L-Valine-1-13C（Cat No.:S000609） is a specialized form of valine, an essential branched-chain amino acid vital for protein synthesis and energy production. The notation “1-13C” specifies that the carbon atom in position 1 of the valine molecule is replaced with the stable carbon isotope carbon-13. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of valine metabolism and its involvement in various biochemical pathways using techniques like mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Such isotopically labeled compounds are invaluable for studying metabolic fluxes, understanding cellular physiology, and investigating disorders related to valine metabolism, such as maple syrup urine disease.
