TAUROCHOLIC ACID SODIUM SALT HYDRATE is white or cream-white powder
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.
Taurocholic Acid Sodium Salt Hydrate is a choleretic; Its sodium salt is a lipase accelerator. Also used as a method for the quantitation of conjugated bile acids in dried blood spots using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry.

ChEBI: Taurocholic acid sodium salt hydrate is a bile acid taurine conjugate.
Taurocholic acid sodium salt hydrate is a bile acid with detergent capabilities.
Taurocholic acid is the main end product of cholesterol catabolism. During enterohepatic circulation, bile taurocholic acid is converted by the microorganisms to taurodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid. These are reabsorbed by the liver via a carrier-mediated process and converted by liver enzymes to taurocholic acid.
