Taurine inhibits osteoclastogenesis through the taurine transporter

Amino Acids, 2009
Several studies have suggested a direct link between taurine and bone homeostasis. However, the mechanisms of taurine on the regulation of bone metabolism have not been elucidated. Using a coculture of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells as a model for the study of osteoclastogenesis, RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and M-CSF- and RANKL-induced bone ...

Taurine, Taurine Analogues, and Taurine Functions: Overview

2006
In view of the high (mM) concentrations of taurine found in most mammalian tissues, it is not surprising that it has a multiplicity of functions. Indeed, it may be an oversimplification to search for a single action that might account for its behaviour in any one system.

Taurine Deficiency: A Rationale for Taurine Depletion

1982
Investigators concerned with the metabolism of taurine are confronted by two distinct aspects of the problem. The first concerns the function of taurine at the molecular level and the second concerns those factors that set the limits of taurine supply and demand as they affect taurine depletion and deficiency.

Taurine in development

Physiological Reviews, 1988
Taurine is a ubiquitous dietary constituent of most mammals and is present in especially high concentrations in the tissues of developing mammals. Research to date indicates that taurine plays an important role in the development of the nervous system and the process of migration in particular.

Taurine, Taurine Analogues, and Mitochondrial Function and Dysfuntion

2006
It has become apparent in recent years that mitochondria are integrally involved in the mechanism of both apoptosis and necrosis (Ankarcrona et al., 1996; Tatton et al., 1999; Finkel et al., 2001). Mitochondria possess a latent mechanism, called the permeability transition pore (PTP), that when activated will open and allow the efflux of components ...

Taurine Analogues and Taurine Transport: Therapeutic Advantages

2006
Taurine, 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a -sulfur amino acid. Though it was first isolated about 170 years ago from ox bile, in fact it was discovered about 40 years ago with the publication of an excellent review (Jacobsen and Smith, 1968), which opened new ways for investigation of this old molecule.

Taurin

Zeitschrift für Orthomolekulare Medizin, 2012
ZusammenfassungTaurin ist eine nicht proteinogene Aminosäure mit hohen Gewebskonzentrationen in Gehirn und Herz sowie im ZNS. Absolut gesehen befindet sich die größte Menge Taurin in der Muskulatur. Aufgrund seiner zahlreichen Funktionen im Stoffwechsel und in verschiedenen Organen sind die Symptome eines Mangels weitreichend.
