I-Taruine iyinhlanganisela yezinto eziphilayo ezitholakala kabanzi ezicutshini zezilwane.I-sulphur amino acid, kodwa ayisetshenziselwa ukuhlanganiswa kwamaprotheni.Inothile ebuchosheni, emabeleni, enyongweni nasezinso.Kuyi-amino acid ebalulekile ku-pre-term kanye nezinsana ezisanda kuzalwa zomuntu.Inezinhlobo ezehlukene zemisebenzi yomzimba ehlanganisa ukuba njenge-neurotransmitter ebuchosheni, ukuhlangana kwe-bile acid, i-anti-oxidation, i-osmoregulation, ukuqina kwe-membrane, ukuguqulwa kwesignali ye-calcium, ukulawula ukusebenza kwenhliziyo kanye nokuthuthukiswa nokusebenza kwemisipha yamathambo, i-retina, kanye nesimiso sezinzwa esimaphakathi.
