What is Glucose-13C6?

Chemical properties

White Solid

The Uses of Glucose-13C6

Glucose-13C6 can be used in enzymic synthesis of cyclohexyl-α and β-D-glucosides

The Uses of Glucose-13C6

Glucose-13C6 is a simple sugar that is present in plants. A monosaccharide that may exist in open chain or cyclic conformation if in solution. It plays a vital role in photosynthesis and fuels the energy required for cellular respiration. D-Glucose is used in various metabolic processes including enzymic synthesis of cyclohexyl-α and β-D-glucosides. Can also be used as a diagnostic tool in detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus and potentially Huntington's disease through analysis of blood-glucose in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The Uses of Glucose-13C6

D-Glucose-¹³C₆ has been used:

for de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis
as a component in tracing media for the analysis of stable isotope tracer
in minimal media for recombinant protein production
for cell suspension

What are the applications of Application

D-Glucose-13C6 is a monosaccharide present in plants, used as an internal standard for the quantification of D-(+)-glucose.
