L-Valine-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of L-valine (Item No. 38709) by GC- or LC-MS. L-Valine is a branched-chain essential amino acid that is obtained via the diet.1 It is considered glucogenic due to its catabolism that ultimately forms succinyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle.2 A deficiency in branched-chain dehydrogenase, the enzyme that catabolizes valine, isoleucine, and leucine, leads to maple syrup urine disease, a disorder characterized by progressive ketoacidosis, failure to thrive, neurological dysfunction, and, potentially, death.1,3
