Taurine

Description

Taurine (Taurine), also known as β-amino acid, was first isolated from the bezoar, it is named. Pure colorless or white crystals, odorless, chemically stable taurine, insoluble in ether and other organic solvents, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acids, exist in the body in free state, do not participate in the body of protein Biosynthesis. Although taurine is not involved in protein synthesis, it is closely related to cystine and cysteine metabolism. Human synthesis of taurine cysteine sulfite carboxylase (CSAD) activity is low, mainly by the intake of food taurine to meet the body\'s needs.
