Taurine or 2-aminoethane sulfonic acid is an organic acid with a sulfonic acid group and an amino group. Taurine is an amino sulfonic acid and not an amino acid and therefore cannot form peptides. It is produced in metabolism as a breakdown product of the amino acid cysteine.
In 1827, the German professors Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin became the pioneers who isolated the currently known taurine originating from ox bile and they named it „Gallen‑Asparagin”, the currently used name, taurine, first appeared in the literature in 1838 by von H. Demarcay[1]
