<p><strong>Taurine</strong>, or <strong>2-aminoethanesulfonic acid</strong>, is an <font color="#0066cc">organic acid</font>. It is also a major constituent of <font color="#0066cc">bile</font> and can be found in the lower intestine and in small amounts in the tissues of many animals and in humans as well.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></font></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></font></sup> Taurine is a derivative of the sulfur-containing (<font color="#0066cc">sulfhydryl</font>) <font color="#0066cc">amino acid</font>, <font color="#0066cc">cysteine</font>. Taurine is one of the few known naturally occurring <font color="#0066cc">sulfonic acids</font>.</p>
<p>Taurine is named after the Latin <em>taurus</em>, which means bull or ox, as it was first isolated from <font color="#0066cc">ox</font> <font color="#0066cc">bile</font> in 1827 by German scientists <font color="#0066cc">Friedrich Tiedemann</font> and <font color="#0066cc">Leopold Gmelin</font>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></font></sup> It is often called an amino acid, even in scientific literature,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></font></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></font></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></font></sup> but as it lacks a <font color="#0066cc">carboxyl group</font> it is not strictly an amino acid.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><font color="#0066cc"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></font></sup> It does contain a <font color="#0066cc">sulfonate group</font> and may be called an amino sulfonic acid.
