Taurine Amino Acids
Why is taurine considered to be an amino acid?
Why is taurine considered to be an amino acid when it lacks a carboxyl group? Even scientific pieces of writing state that taurine is an amino acid. I thought one requirement of an amino acid is to have a carboxyl group. Am I missing something?
Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is also a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and in small amounts in the tissues of many animals, including humans.Taurine is a derivative of the sulfur-containing (sulfhydryl) amino acid, cysteine. Taurine is one of the few known naturally occurring sulfonic acids.
