L-Gulono-1,4-lactone-13C6

L-Gulono-1,4-lactone-13C6 (L-Gulonolactone-13C6) is the 13C-labeled L-Gulono-1,4-lactone (HY-W016628) . 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.
