Scientific background
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a β-amino acid, one of the most abundant free amino acids found in vertebrates. Taurine can be present in many tissues including brain, myocardium, and kidney. It plays an important role in several physiological processes including cardiac contraction, antioxidation, blunting of hypertension, bile acid conjugation, maintenance of calcium homeostasis, osmoregulation, and membrane stabilization.Taurine acts as an endogenous partial agonist at the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR)1,2.The glycine receptor is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) superfamily. The receptor mediates fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian spinal cord and parts of the brain3.
