Application:	Deoxycholic acid has been used as: • a hyphal-inhibitory compound in an ex vivo assay to study the hyphal morphogenesis of Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal tract • an internal standard to estimate the toxin concentration in the cell pellet • a bile acid (BA) standard to quantitatively measure BA in various samples from treated mice by ultra-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
Biochem/physiol Actions:	Deoxycholic acid, due to its amphiphilicity, significantly helps to solubilize, emulsify, and absorb fat, vitamins, and cholesterol in the body. High levels of intestinal deoxycholic acid might cause colorectal cancer by inducing oxidative stress and leading to DNA damage. It acts as an oncogene and pro-tumor factor.
General description:	Deoxycholic acid is an amphiphilic molecule and an important constituent of bile acid. It contains hydroxyl groups substituted at the 3α and 12α positions and a carboxyl group towards the end of the branched-chain. These moieties contribute to the hydrophilic nature of the molecule and the hydrophobic cyclopentanophenanthrene forms its center.
Other Notes:	For the solubilization of the β-adrenergic receptor
