DescriptionTaurocyamine is a guanidino-taurine analogue derived from taurine. It is an intermediate of taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. The concentration of taurocyamine present in the human urine and serum could be as low as 8-78 pmol/ml. (PMID: 6520173 ) Plasma levels of taurocyamine are significantly increased in patients with chronic renal failure with or without hemodialysis. (PMID: 10516995 ). Taurocyamine is an endogenous alkaline "shifter". It effectively reduces the extent of brain intracellular lactic acidosis brought about by anoxic insult. A pH alkaline shift may protect the brain against the deleterious effects of lactic acidosis. (PMID: 8241459 ). Taurocyamine is an inhibitor of taurine transport and a glycine receptor antagonist in the brain (PMID: 12411417 ).
