| Targets |
5β-Cholanic acid does not have a specific biological target but is a component of bile acids. Bile acids are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and are involved in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. They act as signaling molecules that regulate lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism through the activation of nuclear receptors such as FXR and the G protein-coupled receptor TGR5. By studying 5β-cholanic acid and its derivatives, researchers can gain insights into bile acid biology and metabolism.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
