α-Muricholic Acid(CAT: R020996) is a bile acid naturally occurring in the liver of rodents and other mammals, playing a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. This compound is part of the bile acid pool that facilitates the emulsification of lipids in the digestive system. In scientific research, α-Muricholic Acid is studied for its effects on cholesterol metabolism, gut microbiota, and liver function. It is also of interest in studies related to liver diseases, as it exhibits properties that may influence bile acid signaling pathways and liver health. Additionally, α-Muricholic Acid serves as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for bile acid profiling and quantification in biological samples.
