D-Glucose-
13C
6 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
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.

D-Glucose-13C6 functions as a tracer and helps to access glucose kinetics in vivo.
