egg white.
정의
ChEBI: A bile acid that is 5beta-cholan-24-oic acid bearing three alpha-hydroxy substituents at position 3, 7 and 12.
일반 설명
This Certified Spiking Solution? is suitable as a starting material in preparation of linearity standards, calibrators, and controls for use in LC-MS/MS and GC/MS bile acid testing methods. Cholic acid is a primary bile acid that plays an important role in cholesterol homeostasis and intestinal absorption of dietary vitamins and lipids. Levels of cholic acid can serve as markers for inborn and acquired hepatobiliary disorders such as biliary atresia and familial intrahepatic cholestasis as well as inborn errors of bile acid synthesis and sclerosing cholangitis.
Purification Methods
This bile acid crystallises from H2O or wet Et2O (as hydrate) or EtOH (as alcoholate). Dry it under vacuum at 94o. When an alcoholic solution of cholic acid + I2 is added to aqueous KI, it forms a molecular compound (C24H40O5I)4 KI. H2O. The methyl ester is dimorphic with m 155o and 162o and [] D 20 +25o (EtOH).
