Biological Activity

[Description]:

Taurolithocholic acid sodium salt, a potent cholestatic agent, is a potent Ca2+ agonist[1].

[Related Catalog]:

Signaling Pathways >> Membrane Transporter/Ion Channel >> Calcium Channel

Research Areas >> Metabolic Disease

[In Vitro]

Taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) at low concentrations (5 µM) tends to selectively increase the membrane-associated fraction of the e-isoform of PKC by 44.1% ± 40.2%[1]. TLCA (10 µM) selectively induces translocation of theε-isoform of PKC to the hepatocellular membranes, a key step for activation of mobile PKC isoforms[1].

[In Vivo]

Taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) exerts cholestatic effects via PI3K-dependent mechanisms in perfused rat Livers and rat hepatocyte couplets[2].
