Menadione-d3（Cat No.:S000560） is a specialized form of menadione, a synthetic form of vitamin K, essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. The “d3” designation indicates that three hydrogen atoms in the menadione molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of menadione metabolism and its incorporation into biochemical pathways using advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry. Menadione-d3 serves as a valuable tool in metabolic studies, aiding in elucidating pathways, understanding cellular physiology, and investigating diseases related to vitamin K deficiency or metabolism, such as coagulopathy.
