D-Homocysteine Analysis Service
D-Homocysteine (D-Hcy) is a sulfur-containing amino acid crucial in methionine and folate metabolism. It acts as an important intermediate in the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids and is involved in methylation reactions. Elevated levels of D-Hcy are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of D-Hcy and its derivatives provide insights into their roles in physiological and pathological processes, aiding in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
