Taurodeoxycholic Acid

A bile salt formed in the liver by conjugation of deoxycholate with taurine, usually as the sodium salt. It is used as a cholagogue and choleretic, also industrially as a fat emulsifier.

Also Known As:

Sodium Taurodeoxycholate; Acid, Taurodeoxycholic; Deoxycholate, Taurine; Taurodeoxycholate, Sodium; Deoxycholyltaurine; Taurine Deoxycholate; Taurodeoxycholate; Ethanesulfonic acid, 2- (((3alpha,5beta,12alpha)- 3,12- dihydroxy- 24- oxocholan- 24- yl)amino)-
