Description
Sodium deoxyglycolic acid is a kind of bile salt, and exists in bile in the form of combining with glycine or taurine to form glycodeoxycholic acid or sodium taurodeoxycholate. It is cholanoic acid that forms many organic compounds and stable molecular compounds.
Synthesis
Sodium deoxyglycolic acid is easily soluble in water and has a strong surface activity. It can be used to destroy cells to extract enzymes. Sodium deoxyglycolic acid is not directly biosynthesized by cholesterol, but is metabolized by intestinal bacteria. Synthesized from cholic acid.
Physical properties
Solid
Uses
Sodium glycodeoxycholate has been used in a study to develop more similar mimetic intestinal fluids to physiological fluids than those developed by mixed bile salt systems (MBS). It has also been used in a study to investigate Ca
2+ buffering capability of bile salt micelles.
Definition
ChEBI: Sodium glycodeoxycholate is a bile acid salt that is the sodium salt of glycodeoxycholic acid. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a bile acid salt and an organic sodium salt. It contains a glycodeoxycholate.
General Description
Sodium glycodeoxycholate is a bile salt that can be used to form biomimicking environments.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Induces apoptosis in hepatocytes; may induce DNA cleavage.
