3-Oxo-5beta-cholanoic acid

Description: 3-Oxo-5beta-cholanoic acid (Dehydrolithocholic acid) is a bile acid metabolite that inhibits TH17 cell differentiation by directly binding to the transcription factor RORgammat with a Kd of 1.13 µM. Target: ROR. Smiles: C[C@H](CCC(O)=O)[C@H]1CC[C@H]2[C@@H]3CC[C@@H]4CC(=O)CC[C@]4(C)[C@H]3CC[C@]12C. References: Hang S, et al. Bile acid metabolites control TH17 and Treg cell differentiation.
