Product Description: Urea-d4 is the deuterium labeled Urea[1]. Urea is a powerful protein denaturant via both direct and indirect mechanisms[2]. A potent emollient and keratolytic agent[3]. Used as a diuretic agent. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been utilized to evaluate renal function[4]. Widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: CD4N2O
