Antioxidant role and subcellular location of hypotaurine and taurine in human neutrophils

The subcellular location of taurine, and its precursor, hypotaurine, within human neutrophils has been examined by nitrogen cavitation, Percoll-gradient centrifugation and HPLC analysis. Hypotaurine and taurine were found to reside within the cytosolic compartment of the cell. The ratio of taurine t...
