Description

Taurohyocholate is a conjugated bile acid derivative formed from hyocholic acid and taurine. This compound is a critical biochemical reagent and reference standard, valued for its role in studying bile acid metabolism and transport mechanisms. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and life science industries who require high-purity biochemicals for analytical and developmental work.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a key reference standard and substrate in studies of bile acid synthesis, enterohepatic circulation, and liver function.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as an important intermediate or analytical standard in the research and quality control of hepatobiliary drugs and therapies.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of calibration standards and controls for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits targeting liver and metabolic disorders.
• Cell Culture & Physiology: Utilized in research to investigate the effects of bile acids on cell membranes, transporters (like ASBT), and signaling pathways.
• Metabolomics & Analytical Chemistry: Acts as a high-purity standard for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and HPLC methods in metabolomic profiling.
