2-Deoxy-D-glucose-1-14C is a radiolabeled analog of glucose, specifically a derivative of D-glucose where the hydroxyl group at the second carbon is replaced by a hydrogen atom, making it a deoxy sugar. The "1-14C" designation indicates that the carbon-14 isotope is incorporated at the first carbon position, which is useful for tracing metabolic pathways in biological research. This compound is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, similar to glucose. It is often utilized in studies involving glucose metabolism, cellular uptake, and various biochemical assays due to its ability to mimic glucose while allowing for the tracking of its incorporation and utilization in metabolic processes. As a radiolabeled compound, it requires careful handling and disposal according to safety regulations concerning radioactive materials. Its applications extend to research in cancer metabolism, diabetes, and other areas of biochemistry and molecular biology.
