15-cis-phytoene [CAS 13920-14-4] 1 mg, 90%

15-cis-Phytoene, 90%, CAS No: 13920-14-4 – 1 mg is a high-purity carotenoid intermediate in the biosynthesis of carotenoids and other tetraterpenoids in plants and microorganisms. As a colorless precursor of compounds such as lycopene, β-carotene, and other carotenoids, 15-cis-Phytoene plays a critical role in studies of plant metabolism, photosynthesis, and antioxidant pathways. Supplied as a 1 mg high-purity sample (≥90%), it is ideal for biochemical assays, metabolic pathway studies, and analytical research including HPLC or mass spectrometry analyses. This compound supports research on carotenoid biosynthesis, regulation, and engineering in both natural and synthetic biology contexts.
