2-Deoxy-D-glucose is act as a culture media part in molecular genetics and as a targeted optical imaging agent for fluorescent imaging. It finds an application in glucoprivic feeding research to invoke and study the processes of counter-regulatory response (CRR). It is utilized in the development of anti-cancer approaches like oxidative stress, radio and chemosensitization.
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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
