Retinol-d6(Cat No.:S000562) is a specialized form of retinol, a precursor to active forms of vitamin A crucial for vision, immune function, and cellular growth and differentiation. The “d6” designation indicates that six hydrogen atoms in the retinol molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling enables precise tracking of retinol metabolism and its distribution in biological systems using advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry. Retinol-d6 serves as a valuable tool in pharmacokinetic studies, aiding in elucidating vitamin A metabolism, understanding its bioavailability, and investigating its role in various physiological processes and disease states.
