Cholic acid-deoxycholic acid/ursocholic acid pathway: bile salt deconjugation, secondary bile acid synthesis, reconjugation and sulfation (Homo sapiens)

From WikiPathways

Jump to: navigation, search


Description

This pathway illustrates how gut microbiota remodel cholic acid (CA)–based bile salts through deconjugation, secondary bile acid synthesis, reconjugation and sulfation along the enterohepatic circulation. It includes bacterial bile salt hydrolase–mediated deconjugation, 7-dehydroxylation and epimerization reactions that generate secondary bile acids such as deoxycholic acid, as well as hepatic reconjugation and sulfation steps that shape bile acid solubility, toxicity and signaling potential in both humans and mice.

To visually simplify the pathway diagram, the following convention was applied:

(i) stacking multiple enzymes: when two or more enzymes catalyse the same conversion, their nodes are placed in a stacked position and their representative catalytic interactions may overlap, but they all possess a unique catalytic interaction to the corresponding conversion, computationally contributing effectively to the catalysed transformation.
