Product Description: Taurine-15N (2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid-15N) is 15N labeled Taurine. Taurine, a sulphur-containing amino acid and an organic osmolyte involved in cell volume regulation, provides a substrate for the formation of bile salts, and plays a role in the modulation of intracellular free calcium concentration. Taurine has the ability to activate autophagy in adipocytes[1][2][3].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C2H7 15NO3S
