[(25R)-3α,7α-Dihydroxy-5β-cholestan-26-oyl]taurine-d4 Sodium Salt
Description
[(25R)-3α,7α-Dihydroxy-5β-cholestan-26-oyl]taurine-d4 Sodium Salt is the labeled deuterium form of [(25R)-3α,7α-Dihydroxy-5β-cholestan-26-oyl]taurine Sodium Salt (D452630) that is derived from Chenodeoxycholic Acid (C291900), which is a major bile acid in many vertebrates, occurring as the N-glycine and/or N-taurine conjugate. With other bile acids, forms mixed micelles with lecithin in bile which solubilize cholesterol and thus facilitates its excretion. Facilitates fat absorption in the small intestine by micellar solubilization of fatty acids and monoglycerides. Anticholelithogenic. Epimeric with Ursodiol. Molecular Formula: C29H46D4NNaO6S Molecular Weight: 567.79
