Description
General description
Sodium tauroursodeoxycholate is a bile salt which is naturally present in the small bowel.
Application
Bile salt-related, anionic detergent used for isolation of membrane proteins including inner mitochondrial membrane proteins.
Sodium tauroursodeoxycholate has been used in a study to assess short-term feedback regulation of bile salt uptake in rodent liver. It has also been used in a study to investigate its potential to resolve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in intestinal epithelial cells. It is also used for isolation of membrane proteins including inner mitochondrial membrane proteins.
