Indican is a colourless organic compound, soluble in water, naturally occurring in Indigofera plants. It is a precursor of indigo dye. [1]

Indican is a toxic metabolite derived from dietary proteins and tryptophan. In the intestine, proteins and tryptophan are converted to indole by tryptophanase-expressing organisms. In the liver, …

Indican is an indole produced when bacteria in the intestine act on the amino acid, tryptophan. Most indoles are excreted in the feces. The remainder is absorbed, metabolized by the liver, …

A substance occurring in the urine of mammals and also in blood plasma as the normal metabolite of tryptophan. An increased urinary excretion of indican is seen in Hartnup disease from the …

The most extensively studied of the uremic indoles is indoxyl sulfate, or indican. Indican is produced from tryptophan in a manner reminiscent of the production of p-cresol sulfate from …

This technology, outlined in a study published today in Nature Communications, could enable large-scale production and application of indican, a molecule related to indigo, without toxic...

Indican is a natural byproduct of protein digestion, which your body excretes in urine, revealing insights about your digestive health and gut bacteria balance.

Nov 14, 2018 · Indican is an indole produced when bacteria in the intestine act on the amino acid, tryptophan. Most indoles are excreted in the feces. The remainder is absorbed, metabolized …

Indican, the β-O-glucoside of the indigo precursor indoxyl, is the natural storage form of indigo in indigo-producing plants 7. It has been suggested as an environmentally mild blue denim …

To evaluate whether indican or even indigo could be produced in whole plants, we generated transgenic tobacco plants harbouring active CYP2A6 together with an indole synthase (BX1) …
