General description
L-gulonic acid lithium salt, also known as Lithium L-gulonate, serves as a precursor in the synthesis of L-ascorbic acid, with potential applications in biochemical and metabolomics research. L-gulonic acid is a sugar acid belonging to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives, characterized by a side chain consisting of 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Within the cell, gulonic acid is primarily located in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Application
L-gulonic acid lithium salt can be utilized to investigate microbial metabolism, explore enzyme functional diversity in metabolic processes, characterize metabolic pathways, and understand carbon utilization, providing potential benefits in biotechnology, drug discovery, cell culture, and biomedical research.
Features and Benefits
Versatile and adaptable for a wide variety of research and metabolomics applications
