D-Pantothenic acid calcium salt, 98%

Description

CAS: 137-08-6 | C18H34CaN2O11 | 494.551 g/mol

Vitamin B-5D-Pantothenic acid calcium salt hydrate acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A. It also involved in the catabolism of fatty acids, preparation of heme and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is involved in the regulation of gene expression and in signal transduction. Further, it is used in sphingolipids, cholesterol and steroid hormones.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
