Taurine, also known as beta-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first proposed by bezoar in the isolated, it is named. Pure product is colorless or white diagonal crystal, odorless, of taurine properties of stable, soluble in ether and other organic solvents, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acids, exist in the body in the free state do not participate in the in vivo protein biosynthesis.Taurine, although not involved in protein synthesis, but it is cystine and cysteine ​​metabolism are closely related. The bodys synthesis of taurine, cysteine ​​sulfurous acid decarboxylase (CSAD) activity was lower, primarily rely on the uptake of taurine in food to meet body needs.
