CAS 361-09-1: Sodium cholate
Description:Sodium cholate is a bile salt derived from cholesterol, primarily functioning as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in various biochemical applications. It is a sodium salt of cholanic acid, characterized by its amphipathic nature, which allows it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This property makes sodium cholate effective in solubilizing lipids and proteins, facilitating their study in biochemical and pharmaceutical research. The compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in water, forming micelles that can encapsulate hydrophobic molecules. Sodium cholate is commonly used in laboratory settings for protein extraction, membrane protein solubilization, and as a component in various formulations, including drug delivery systems. Additionally, it has applications in the food industry as an emulsifier. While generally regarded as safe in controlled amounts, it is important to handle sodium cholate with care, as excessive concentrations can disrupt cellular membranes and affect biological systems.
