3-Hydroxyvaleric acid (Standard)

• Description:

  3-Hydroxyvaleric acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is a five-carbon ketone body byproduct that can undergo an anaplerotic reaction to replenish the intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is one of the important monomers for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) . PHA is a type of biodegradable plastic that is widely used in environmentally friendly packaging, disposable products, and medical materials[1].
