Product Description: β-Tocopherol-d3 is the deuterium labeled β-Tocopherol. β-Tocopherol is an analogue of vitamin E, exhibits antioxidant properties. β-Tocopherol can inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis. β-Tocopherol can also prevent the inhibition of cell growth and of PKC activity caused by d-alpha-tocopherol[1][2][3].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C28H45D3O2
