PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIONS OF TAURINE
2-Aminoethane sulfonic acid, or taurine, is a phylogenetically ancient compound with a disjunct distribution in the biosphere. The mechanisms by which taurine may be acting and how the same mechanism expressed in different settings may affect apparently unrelated physiological phenomena are examined...
