| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Hypotaurine is a metabolite of taurine and affects the regulation of the inflammatory aspects of the immune response. It is also converted into taurine in the body. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Hypotaurine is an aminosulfinic acid comprising ethylamine having the sulfo group at the 2-position. It has a role as a metabolite, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a hypotaurine(1-). It is a tautomer of a hypotaurine zwitterion. | [Biological Activity]
Endogenous inhibitory amino acid. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Hypotaurine, a cystamine analog, is the precursor for taurine synthesis. It can act as an antioxidant and singlet oxygen scavenger, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. Hypotaurine is reported to play an important role in the maintenance and stimulation of sperm motility and also in vitro fertilization and embryo development. | [target]
