Metabolite Identification
Common Name1b-Hydroxycholic acid
Description1b-Hydroxycholic acid, also known as 1b-hydroxycholate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears four hydroxyl groups. 1b-Hydroxycholic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 1b-Hydroxycholic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
