Bile acids are essential for the solubilization and transport of dietary lipids and are the major products of cholesterol catabolism. Results presented here show that bile acids are physiological ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), an orphan nuclear receptor. When bound to bile acids, FXR re
The syntheses of four new sulfobetaine derivatives of bile salts are presented, along with a general set of criteria for useful detergents in membrane biochemistry. Physical properties including the critical micelle concentration, aggregation number, partial specific volume, critical micellar temper
