Disodium salt of Taurolithocholic Acid Sulfate, a metabolite of bile acids. Sulfation is a major metabolic pathway involved in the elimination and detoxification of bile acids (BAs).
Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium salt has been used in a study to assess the electrophysiological effects of bile acids on pancreatic acinar cells. It has also been used in a study to investigate the mechanisms underlying the inhibition of bile acid-induced apoptosis by cyclic AMP in rat hepatocytes.
Taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium salt is a natural detergent bile salt with potential use as a topical microbicidal agent.
