Description
Tryptophan-cholic acid (Trp-CA) is a microbial amino-acid-conjugated bile acid, serving as an endogenous ligand and agonist of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) MRGPRE. Tryptophan-cholic acid activates MRGPRE, promoting the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) through the Gs-cAMP and β-arrestin-1-ALDOA signaling pathways, thereby improving glucose tolerance in diabetic mice. Tryptophan-cholic acid is promising for research of type 2 diabetes[1].

Chemical Information

Tryptophan-cholic acid

Cholyl-L-tryptophan is a bile acid conjugate resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of cholic acid with the amino group of L-tryptophan. It improves glucose tolerance in diabetic mice. It is a secondary carboxamide, a monocarboxylic acid, a bile acid conjugate, a 3alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 7alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 12alpha-hydroxy steroid and a L-tryptophan derivative. It is functionally related to a cholic acid and a L-tryptophan. It is a conjugate acid of a cholyl-L-tryptophan(1-).
