Product Description

One of the most abundant free amino acids in the brain. A partial agonist at the inhibitory glycine receptor. May be used in protocols for the generation of retinal pigment epithelial cells from hPSCs. Taurine-fed middle-aged mice have improved functioning of bone, muscle, pancreas, brain, fat, gut, and immune system, and a longer life span. It reduces cellular senescence, protected against telomerase deficiency, suppressed mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased DNA damage, and attenuated inflammation. Taurine supplementation increases health span and life span in worms and health span in non-human primates.
