Palmitic Acid-d4 (CAS 75736-47-9)
QUICK LINKS
Palmitic Acid-d4 is the isotope labelled analog of Palmitic Acid, a common fatty acid that can be found in plants and animals. Palmitic Acid is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis, as well as a precursor for longer fatty acids. It plays a vital role in biological structures and metabolic processes. Palmitic acid-d4 serves as an internal standard or tracer, allowing tracking the incorporation and metabolism of fatty acids in organisms and to study lipid metabolism with a high degree of precision. The use of deuterated compounds like palmitic acid-d4 enables the accurate quantification of fatty acids in complex mixtures through techniques such as mass spectrometry, where the slight mass difference introduced by deuterium can be detected, distinguishing the labeled compound from its non-labeled counterparts.
