[1] An increase of endogenous N-acetyltaurine concentrations was observed after the consumption of alcohol and after extended physical activity (ketoacidosis).

[5] Based on its high hygroscopicity, N-acetyltaurine is an important ingredient which ensures the spider web's flexibility.

[2] The first study focusing on the forensic context of alcohol biomarker analysis in human urine was published in 2016.

[3] N-Acetyltaurine is a direct alcohol biomarker which represents the oxidative pathway of ethanol metabolism.

N-Acetyltaurine can be quantified by a combination of high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
