Product Information

• Name: 3,7-Diketo-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,7-Diketo-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid is a bile acid that is found in the body. It is one of the major bile acids in humans, and it circulates in the blood bound to albumin. 3,7-Diketo-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid has been shown to be synthesized by the liver and secreted into bile as a conjugate with taurine or glycine. 3,7-Diketo-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid is hydrated by water and micelles before it reaches the intestinal lumen. It can be absorbed by intestinal cells and reabsorbed into the bloodstream. The process of absorption starts when 3,7-diketo 5beta cholan 24 oic acid binds to an ileal receptor on intestinal cells. This binding causes a conformational change in the receptor that activates signaling pathways
