General description

BAA485 (12-oxolithocholic acid) is a microbiome-produced derivative of deoxycholic acid and it is a potent activator of the Pyrin inflammasome. BAA485 induces secretion of IL18 in LPS-primed PBMCs.
Bile acids, natural steroid amphipathic compounds formed through cholesterol oxidation in the liver, play a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism. They facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transport of lipids, lipid-soluble vitamins, and related molecules in the gastrointestinal tract. These bile acids also impact various aspects of cholesterol, glucose, and energy balance.

Application

BAA485 (12-oxolithocholic acid) finds application in metabolomics, biochemical and microbiome research.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used in Metabolomics and Biochemical research
  • High-quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
