Metabolite Identification
Common NameCholic acid
DescriptionCholic acid, also known as cholate, belongs to the class of chemical entities known as trihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears three hydroxyl groups. Cholic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
