Product Description: DL-Mevalonolactone-d3 is the deuterium labeled DL-Mevalonolactone[1]. DL-Mevalonolactone ((±)-Mevalonolactone;Mevalolactone) is the δ-lactone form of mevalonic acid, a precursor in the mevalonate pathway. DL-Mevalonolactone (Mevalonolactone) decreases mitochondrial membrane potential ( Ψm), NAD(P)H content and the capacity to retain Ca2+ in the brain, besides inducing mitochondrial swelling[2][3].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C6H7D3O3
