N‑acetyltaurine is an orally active endogenous sulfonate that is synthesized from taurine and acetate in the renal cortex. N‑acetyltaurine supports bacterial growth as a sole fixed nitrogen or carbon source. N‑acetyltaurine buffers acetyl moieties of mitochondrial acetyl‑CoA in skeletal muscle. N‑acetyltaurine reduces food intake and body weight in obese and lean wild‑type mice in a GFRAL‑dependent manner. N‑acetyltaurine can be used for the research of diet‑induced obesity, hyperacetatemia and diabetes.

Description

N‑acetyltaurine is an orally active endogenous sulfonate that is synthesized from taurine and acetate in the renal cortex. N‑acetyltaurine supports bacterial growth as a sole fixed nitrogen or carbon source. N‑acetyltaurine buffers acetyl moieties of mitochondrial acetyl‑CoA in skeletal muscle. N‑acetyltaurine reduces food intake and body weight in obese and lean wild‑type mice in a GFRAL‑dependent manner. N‑acetyltaurine can be used for the research of diet‑induced obesity, hyperacetatemia and diabetes[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

N‑acetyltaurine (100 μM; 1 h) is hydrolyzed into taurine and acetate by recombinant mouse PTER protein, and shows high hydrolytic activity in HEK293T cells overexpressing PTER but no activity in PTER‑KO HEK293T cells[2].
N‑acetyltaurine is synthesized from taurine and acetate in mouse renal cortex homogenate and in primary human skeletal muscle cells[3].

In Vivo

N-acetyltaurine (1-50 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) administered intraperitoneally to DIO male mice reduces body weight and food intake in a dose-dependent manner[2].
N-acetyltaurine (15-50 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) reduces body weight and food intake in healthy chow-fed male mice[2].
N-acetyltaurine (15 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) reduces body weight and food intake in DIO male mice[2].
N-acetyltaurine (15 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) reduces body weight and food intake in DIO male Mc4r KO mice, indicating the effects of N-acetyltaurine do not require functional MC4R receptors[2].
N-acetyltaurine (50-500 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 7 days) administered orally to DIO male mice reduces body weight and food intake in a dose-dependent manner, with significant effects observed at doses of 150 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg daily for 7 days, and achieves measurable plasma levels following oral gavage[2].
N-Acetyltaurine levels were increased in response to Triacetin (HY-B0896)-induced hyperacetatemia[5].
N-Acetyltaurine levels were significantly increased in response to endogenous hyperacetatemia from Streptozotocin (HY-13753)-induced diabetes[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
