Product Overview
Description:
Epicholesterol-d6 is a stable isotope-labeled compound developed as an analytical internal standard for the mass spectrometry-based quantification (GC- or LC-MS) of epicholesterol, a rare epimer of cholesterol possessing a C-3 hydroxyl group in the alpha-configuration. This specialized probe is highly valued for evaluating the stereospecific constraints of cholesterol on antibody recognition profiles, G-protein coupled receptor functions, and for characterizing the biophysical interactions of sterol-doped model membranes with stereoisomeric ligands.
