GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Taurine, chemically 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a organic compound crystalline present in milk but is isolated mostly from conjugated bile combined with cholic acid (called cholyltaurine, taurocholic acid or cholaic acid). The hydrophilic property of sulfonic group in taurine improves the surfactant properties of the bile. It is an oxidized sulfur-containing amine not an amino acid due to lack of  carboxyl group. It is a derivative of cysteine (sulfur containing amino acid). It is a conditionally essential nutrient. Taurine, as a product of methionine and cysteine metabolism, functions in a wide array of animals' (including human) metabolic physical phenomena. It is also known as it reduces blood sugar level. Synthetic taurine is obtained from isethionic acid, ethyl chain sulfonic acid containing hydroxy group. Taurine is used as a functional food in many energy drinks and energy products. In medicine, taurine is contained in some drugs for common cold, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rheumatic arthritis, eye disease and medicine poisoning. Taurine is a non-selective endogenous agonist at glycine receptors for the amino acid neurotransmitter glycine in the central nervous system. When glycine receptors are activated, chloride enters the neuron via ionotropic receptors, causing an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP). GABA-Glycine Agents which are used for pharmacological glycinergic systems include;
