2-Hydroxybutyric acid (Standard)
Product Specifications
UNSPSC Description
2-Hydroxybutyric acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of 2-Hydroxybutyric acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid (α-Hydroxybutyric acid ) is converted from 2-Aminobutyric acid, with 2-oxobutyric acid as an intermediate metabolite[1]. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes and preeclampsia[2][4]. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid prevents the acetaminophen (AP)-induced liver injury[3].
