Taurine

Description

Taurine, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first isolated from bezoar, hence the name. The pure product is colorless or white slant crystals, odorless, taurine is chemically stable, insoluble in organic solvents such as ether, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid, exists in a free state in the body, and does not participate in the protein Biosynthesis. Although taurine is not involved in protein synthesis, it is closely related to the metabolism of cystine and cysteine. The cysteine sulfite carboxylase (CSAD) activity of the human body to synthesize taurine is low, and it mainly relies on the intake of taurine in food to meet the body's needs.
