Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycoursodeoxycholic acid
DescriptionGlycoursodeoxycholic acid, also known as GUDCA or ursodeoxycholylglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycinated bile acids and derivatives. Glycinated bile acids and derivatives are compounds with a structure characterized by the presence of a glycine linked to a bile acid skeleton. Glycoursodeoxycholic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
