| Application: | Cholate is a bile acid produced in liver during cholesterol breakdown. Cholate downregulates cholesterol-7-α-hydroxyla |
| Application: | Sodium cholate hydrate has been used: • as a bile acid to induce bile acid-responsive (BEAR) transcription system, • as a component of Campylobacter defined broth (CDB) to test its effect on stress response in Campylobacter jejuni{52 • to test its sensitivity towards the bile acid sensor |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Reduction in 12-α hydroxylase activity leads to low levels of cholic acid in liver disease. |
| General description: | Cholate is a primary bile acid produced from cholesterol in the liver. It is an anionic detergent synthesized from cholesterol in the presence of sterol 12α-hydroxylase (CYP8B1). |
