Product Description: Tetrahydrofolic acid-13C5 (L-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolic acid-13C5) is 13C labeled Tetrahydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid (L-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolic acid) is the biologically active vitamin B9 folate derivative. Tetrahydrofolic acid is a donor of one-carbon groups for amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids. Tetrahydrofolic acid serves as an acceptor of free formaldehyde, producing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-Tetrahydrofolic acid[1].
