Glycocholic acid, or cholylglycine, is a crystalline bile acid involved in the emulsification of fats. It occurs as a sodium salt in the bile of mammals. It is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine.[1] Its anion is called glycocholate.
In a prospective study, positive associations were observed between prediagnostic plasma levels of seven conjugated bile acid metabolites, including glycocholic acid, and colon cancer risk.[2] These findings support experimental data suggesting that high circulating bile acids promote colon cancer risk.[2][3]
