Amino Acid Metabolism Imaging Services

Amino Acid Metabolism Imaging Services

The amino acids produced by protein degradation in vivo and the non-essential amino acids synthesized in vivo are endogenous amino acids, while the amino acids digested and absorbed by food proteins are exogenous amino acids, which are distributed throughout the body to form an amino acid metabolism library. Amino acids mainly exist in blood and tissues in the body. The amino acids digested and absorbed by food proteins first enter the blood and then enter the tissue for biotransformation or decomposition. Tissue proteins can also decompose to produce amino acids into the blood. Abnormal metabolism of amino acids can lead to many diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, imaging analysis of the metabolic process of amino acids is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Amino Acid Metabolism Imaging Analysis

Amino acid metabolism plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. In recent years, with the development of new fluorescent probes, researchers have realized fluorescence imaging of amino acid metabolism at the cellular level, and fluorescent probes have become an effective tool for visual analysis of amino acid metabolism.

CD BioSciences is a biotechnology company, which has been committed to the research and development of fluorescent probes and live cell imaging technology for many years. We can provide you with fluorescent probes for visual analysis of different amino acid metabolism to help you study the process of abnormal amino acid metabolism and the pathogenesis of related diseases.
