Deoxycholic acid
Deoxycholic acid is a secondary bile acid produced by bacterial metabolism of cholate, typically found conjugated to glycine or taurine. It functions as a biological detergent to emulsify dietary lipids for absorption and is widely used in research on lipid metabolism, membrane biology, and as a tool in cell lysis protocols.
