Sodium 2-hydroxybutanoate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sodium 2-hydroxybutanoate (2-Hydroxybutyric acid sodium) is converted from 2-Aminobutyric acid, with 2-oxobutyric acid as an intermediate metabolite. Sodium 2-hydroxybutanoate is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes and preeclampsia. Sodium 2-hydroxybutanoate prevents the acetaminophen (AP)-induced liver injury.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 50 mg/mL (396.54 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
