Lithocholic acid-d4（Cat No.:S000788） is a specialized form of lithocholic acid, a secondary bile acid derived from chenodeoxycholic acid metabolism in the gut microbiota. The “d4” designation indicates that four hydrogen atoms in the lithocholic acid molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of lithocholic acid metabolism and its incorporation into bile acid pathways using advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry. Lithocholic acid-d4 serves as a valuable tool in metabolic studies, aiding in elucidating pathways, understanding gut microbiome interactions, and investigating bile acid-related disorders.
