CAS 547-75-1: Hyocholic acid
Description:Hyocholic acid, with the CAS number 547-75-1, is a bile acid that is derived from cholesterol and is primarily found in the bile of certain animals, particularly in the intestines of some mammals. It is characterized by its steroid structure, which consists of a four-ring core with various functional groups that contribute to its amphipathic nature, allowing it to interact with both lipophilic and hydrophilic environments. Hyocholic acid plays a significant role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins by emulsifying lipids in the intestinal tract. Its solubility properties facilitate the formation of micelles, which are essential for the efficient uptake of lipids. Additionally, hyocholic acid can influence cholesterol metabolism and has been studied for its potential effects on lipid profiles and metabolic health. As a bile acid, it also participates in enterohepatic circulation, where it is reabsorbed in the intestine and returned to the liver. Overall, hyocholic acid is an important biochemical compound with implications in digestion and metabolism.
