Description:
Homovanillic Acid-[d3] is an isotopically-labeled version of Homovanillic Acid (HVA). This important dopamine metabolite is predominantly found in human urine and is a valuable biochemical research tool for investigating the mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Its use in these studies is useful, given the marked alterations in dopamine metabolism and function that are observed in these conditions.
