What is Potassium taurocholate?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Potassium Taurocholate is the potassium salt form of the bile acid taurocholic acid. Taurocholic acid is formed in the liver from cholesterol upon conjugation of cholic acid with taurine. Potassium taurocholate can be used to enhance the penetration and thus absorption of certain less lipophilic or hydrophilic substances through the skin or mucus membranes by increasing lipid solubilization.
