Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium
0 ImagesSynonyms: Sulfolithocholic acid disodium; LCAS disodiumLithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium is a GPR39 agonist, with EC50 values of 41 μM and 42.4 μM in M39-20 and hGPR39-2 cells, respectively, in the absence of Zn2+, and 0.88 μM and 0.97 μM in the presence of Zn2+. Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium acts as a RORγt ligand. Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium stimulates the GPR39 receptor to initiate intracellular calcium signaling, independent of the Zn2+-binding sites H17 and H19. LCA-3-S selectively inhibits Th17 cell differentiation by targeting RORγt. Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium can be used in the research of cholestatic liver diseases.
