Bioactivity: 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate (2-Hydroxyethanesulfonic acid or isethionic acid) is an organosulfur compound containing a short chain alkane sulfonate linked to a hydroxyl group. Mammals are able to endogenously synthesize 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate via taurine through a possible enzymatic deamination process. 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate can be found in both human plasma and urine. Higher plasma levels of 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate have been shown to be protective against type 2 diabetes.
