Amino acids are essential for life, used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are necessary to form cells and are part of the chemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies. Taurine is an organic acid involved in the formation of bile, which occurs naturally in small quantities in the tissues of many living organisms (including humans) and therefore in many foods. Is an amino acid derivative containing cysteine thiol group; and is the only natural sulfonic acid known. Its name derives from the Latin taurus (meaning bull) because by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin was first isolated from bull bile in 1827. Differs from most of the other amino acids that are not incorporated into proteins, but exists as a free amino acid in most animal tissues and are one of the most abundant amino acids where high electrical activity, eye, in the brain, muscles, heart, platelets, and the developing nervous system. There is evidence that serves as a neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger to the nervous system), a regulating salt and water balance (osmoregulation) within cells and stabilizing cell membranes, since it has been shown that the Taurine may have a role in changing some properties of the membrane such as the fluidity, the carrying capacity of some ions and the regulation of the activity of certain membrane-bound enzymes, as well as in the maintenance of potential membrane and intracellular pH. Participates in the detoxification of foreign chemicals and is also involved in the production and action of bile.
