| Taurine Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White crystalline powder |
| Usage | vitamin B1, enzyme cofactor |
| Usage | Taurine is an organic acid found in animal tissues and is a major constituent of bile. Taurine has many biological roles such as conjugation of bile acids, antioxidation, osmoregulation, membrane stab ilization and modulation of calcium signaling. |
| Definition | ChEBI: An amino sulfonic acid that is the 2-amino derivative of ethanesulfonic acid. It is a naturally occurring amino acid derived from methionine and cysteine metabolism. An abundant component of fish- and meat-based foods, it has been used as an oral suppleme t in the treatment of disorders such as cystic fibrosis and hypertension. |
| General Description | Large white crystals or white powder. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble. |
| Reactivity Profile | Taurine is an amino acid found in combination with bile acids [Hawley]. |
| Health Hazard | ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Taurine evolves highly toxic fumes when heated to decomposition, and may cause irritation on contact. |
| Fire Hazard | Flash point data are not available for Taurine, but Taurine is probably combustible. |
| Biological Activity | One of the most abundant free amino acids in the brain. A partial agonist at the inhibitory glycine receptor. |
