Product Description
Mechanism of Action
TAUROSELCHOLIC ACID (ID 27565) exhibits a highly distributed biochemical activity matrix spanning multi‑axis signalling disruption, enzymatic‑cascade interference, mitochondrial‑network recalibration, cytoskeletal remodelling, redox‑system modulation, ion‑flux redistribution and transcription‑factor pathway realignment. Its conformational topology enables interaction with catalytic cores, allosteric domains, transmembrane helices, hydrophobic receptor cavities, nucleotide‑binding pockets and multiprotein scaffolding structures. This generates system‑wide modulation across metabolic, genomic, structural and electrophysiological domains.
At the signalling level, TAUROSELCHOLIC ACID may reshape phosphorylation gradients, modify propagation dynamics across MAPK/ERK/JNK/p38 axes, alter PI3K–AKT survival signalling, shift G‑protein coupling states, recalibrate intracellular Ca²⁺ microdomains, and modulate IP₃/DAG and cAMP‑PKA signalling amplitudes. Mitochondrial effects include ETC‑complex rebalancing, ATP‑turnover adjustment, ROS‑leakage threshold modulation and membrane‑potential polarity shifts. Its multi‑node regulation enables deep experimental interrogation of stress‑adaptation pathways and metabolic‑response thresholds.
