acetyltaurine Usage And Synthesis

Uses

N-Acetyltaurine is a sulfonate that can serve as a carbon source or a nitrogen source, and an energy source for microbial growth (such as the NAT strain). Additionally, N-Acetyltaurine is also a substrate for the amidase enzyme, porcine kidney N-acetyl-β-alanine deacetylase [EC 3.5.1.21][1].

Definition

ChEBI: An amino sulfonic acid that is taurine substituted by an acetyl group at the N atom.
