牛磺胆酸钠是一种具有洗涤剂特性的胆汁盐，该特性使其能够溶解不溶性脂质。 牛磺胆酸钠已被用于评估石油烃残留物的胃肠道吸附的控制因素。它还被用于研究诱导胆汁淤积的大鼠中Na+、K+-腺苷三磷酸酶（Na+、K+-ATP酶）活性的降低。 Sodium taurolithocholate is a bile salt with detergent qualities that give it the ability to solubilize insoluble lipids. Sodium taurolithocholate has been used in a study to assess factors controlling the gastrointestinal adsorption of petroleum hydrocarbon residues. It has also been used in a study to investigate the decrease in activity of Na+, K+-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) in rats where cholestasis had been induced.
