Frequently Asked Questions
| Category | Question | Short Answer |
| Basic Info | What is Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) CAS 14605-22-2? | A hydrophilic bile acid — the taurine conjugate of ursodeoxycholic acid. Used in research for apoptosis, ER stress, and neuroprotection studies. |
| Basic Info | What is the molecular formula? | C₂₆H₄₅NO₆S, MW 499.71 g/mol. A taurine-conjugated bile acid naturally found in humans and bear bile. |
| Application | What research fields use TUDCA? | Neurodegenerative disease research (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s), liver disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and protein misfolding/ER stress studies. |
| Application | Is TUDCA used for ER stress research? | Yes. TUDCA is a well-known chemical chaperone that inhibits ER stress by activating PERK and reducing protein synthesis, halting misfolded protein aggregation. |
| Performance | What purity levels are available? | Standard ≥95%, Research ≥98% (HPLC), Pharma ≥99%. All with Certificate of Analysis (CoA). |
| Performance | How stable is TUDCA? | Stable for 24 months at 15-25°C. DMSO/EtOH solutions stable up to 1 month at -20°C. |
| Storage | How should TUDCA be stored? | 15-25°C, dry, sealed container. Solutions in DMSO/ethanol at -20°C for up to 1 month. Protect from moisture. |
| Storage | How is TUDCA packaged? | 50 g / 100 g Fluoride bottles; 500 g / 1 kg fiber drums. Custom packaging available. |
