Glycodeoxycholic acid(CAT: R065563) is a bile acid conjugate formed from deoxycholic acid and glycine. It plays a critical role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. Glycodeoxycholic acid acts as a natural detergent, emulsifying fats to facilitate their breakdown by pancreatic enzymes. Additionally, it is involved in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and has been studied for its potential impact on liver function and gallstone formation. In research, glycodeoxycholic acid is used to study bile acid metabolism, liver function, and the enterohepatic circulation. Its significance in gastrointestinal physiology and potential therapeutic applications make it a valuable compound in biochemical and medical research.
