2-deoxy-d-glucose-13c-6

2-deoxy-D-Glucose-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 2-deoxy-D-glucose by GC- or LC-MS. 2-deoxy-D-Glucose is a glucose antimetabolite and an inhibitor of glycolysis. It inhibits hexokinase, the enzyme that converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, as well as phosphoglucose isomerase, the enzyme that converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.

2-Deoxy-D-glucose-13C6 (2-DG-13C6) is a 13C-labeled variant of 2-Deoxy-D-glucose. As a glucose analog, 2-Deoxy-D-glucose functions as a glucose metabolism inhibitor by targeting hexokinase, thereby disrupting glycolysis.
