Taurine

Taurine is a sulphonated amino acid that occurs abundantly in vivo, and is found in oxen lung, shark blood, mussels and oysters. It is produced through the metabolism of cysteine via the formation of the intermediates cysteinesulphinate and hypotaurine.


It has been proposed to play important roles in biological functions such as regulating intracellular calcium, osmoregulation, brain development (particularly for cerebellum and retina cells), and in the enhancement of bile flow and cholesterol clearance by the liver. Taurine may be conjugated to bile acids and secreted in the duodenum.


It is an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. Inhibits diethyl nitrosamine and phenobarbital-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. It has been used as a sulphur source in examining the gene expression profile of transporters in Bacillus subtilis via DNA array analysis. A report on the use of taurine as a sole sulphur source by several strains of E. coli has been published. The cytoprotective role of taurine has been investigated in cell culture, and its uptake in lactating porcine mammary tissue has been studied.


Non-selective endogenous agonist at glycine receptors. Conditionally essential sulphonated amino acid which modulates apoptosis in some cells; functions in many metabolic activities; a product of methionine and cysteine metabolism.
