Sodium cholate（Cat No.:R065122） is a sodium salt form of cholic acid, a primary bile acid produced in the liver from cholesterol and secreted into the intestine. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine by forming micelles that solubilize lipids. Sodium cholate is commonly used in scientific research as a biological detergent to solubilize and isolate membrane-bound proteins due to its amphipathic nature. Additionally, it’s utilized in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.
