Description
L-Taurine is a non-selective endogenous agonist at glycine receptors. It is a conditionally essential sulfonated amino acid which modulates apoptosis in some cells. L-Taurine functions in many metabolic activities, as a product of methionine and cysteine metabolism. L-Taurine modulates the concentration of intracellular calcium, protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury and possesses blood pressure-lowering properties. It also has a role in bile formation and fat digestion. Deficiency of taurine is associated with anxiety, hyperactivity, epilepsy and depression.
