Taurine Conjugated Bile Acids

Taurine conjugation to bile acids (BAs) is a type of amino acid conjugation that occurs on primary and secondary BAs in hepatocytes.  Examples of taurine conjugated BAs are taurochenodeoxycholic acid and taurocholic acid (for primary BA conjugates), as well as taurodeoxycholic acid and taurolithocholic acid (for secondary BA conjugates).  CIL offers a collection of stable isotope-labeled and unlabeled taurine conjugated BAs in their solution and neat form for research use purposes.  To help reduce development time in research applications, five taurine conjugated BAs (2 primary and 3 secondary) are also formulated in a dried down mix (see MSK-BA2 and MSK-BA2-US).
