Allocholic acid
Allocholic acid is a bile acid found in vertebrates. Its molecular structure is an isomer of bile acid. Due to the isomerization of the hydroxyl group position on the steroid ring, it forms a unique configuration and is also the conjugate acid of isocholic acid. Allocholic acid has a relatively low content under normal physiological conditions, but it is re-expressed during liver regeneration and carcinogenesis, suggesting that it may be involved in the metabolic regulatory network of tissue repair and tumorigenesis. As a specific stimulant of the mature olfactory system, Allocholic acid can efficiently activate olfactory receptors and mediate olfactory signal transduction. Its mechanism of action may be related to the interaction with G protein-coupled receptors in the nasal mucosa. From the perspective of metabolite distribution, it possesses the attributes of metabolites in Marine organisms, rats and humans. It may not only serve as a secondary metabolite in Marine organisms but also play a role in the hepatointestinal circulation of mammals.
