Allocholic acid
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Allocholic acid is a typically fetal bile acid found in vertebrates and reappears during liver regeneration and carcinogenesis, besides it is also a conjugate acid of allocholate and an isomer of cholic acid. Allocholic acid is a potent and specific stimulant of the adult olfactory system, it has a role as a marine metabolite, a rat metabolite and a human metabolite.

Description
In Vitro
Allocholic acid induces the bai operon and stimulates the conversion of [24-14C] cholic acid to [24-14C] allodeoxycholic acid in cultures of C. scindens and C. hylemonae allodeoxycholic acid[4].
