General description

Taurocholic acid sodium salt hydrate is a bile acid with detergent capabilities.

Application

Anionic detergent used for protein solubilization.
Taurocholic acid sodium salt hydrate has been used in a study to assess the adsorption of bile acids and salts to vegetable fibrous tissue. It has also been used in a study to investigate a method for determination of conjugated and unconjugated bile salts in serum and jejunal fluid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Non-sulfated bile salt, physiological transport substrate for the bile salt export pump/sister of Pgp (BSEP/spgp), Na(+)/taurocholate cotransporter (NTCP) and MRP3 into the hepatic carnalicular.
Non-sulfated bile salt.

Preparation Note

Synthesized from cholic acid
