Taurocholic acid-d4 (TCA-d4) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of TCA (Item No. 16215) by GC- or LC-MS. TCA is a taurine-conjugated form of the primary bile acid cholic acid (Item No. 20250).1 Serum levels of TCA are decreased in patients with Crohn’s disease and those with ulcerative colitis with no extraintestinal manifestations, but are increased in patients with ulcerative colitis accompanied by hepatobiliary disease.2
