L-Gulono-1,4-lactone (Standard)
L-Gulono-1,4-lactone (Standard) is the analytical standard of L-Gulono-1,4-lactone. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. L-Gulono-1,4-lactone is a substrate of L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidoreductase, which catalyzes the last step of the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic (Vatamin) C. In other words, L-Gulono-1,4-lactone is a direct precursor of vitamin C in animals, in plants and in some protists.
