Uses
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid-d4 (sodium) is the deuterium labeled Taurochenodeoxycholic acid. Taurochenodeoxycholic acid (12-Deoxycholyltaurine) is one of the main bioactive substances of animals' bile acid. Taurochenodeoxycholic acid induces apoptosis and shows obvious anti-inflammatory and immune regulation properties[1][2].
Biological Activity
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of taurochenodeoxycholic acid by GC- or LC-MS. TCDCA is a taurine-conjugated form of the primary bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid .1 Serum levels of TCDCA increase approximately 5-fold within two hours and begin to decrease within four hours during an oral lipid tolerance test in humans.2 Serum levels of TCDCA are increased in patients with liver cirrhosis and may serve as a marker of disease progression.3
