Description

This pathway focuses on murine-specific transformations of CDCA-derived bile acids, in which hepatic CYP2C70 converts CDCA and UDCA into α and β muricholic acids (MCA), which are primary bile acids in mice and can be further epimerized (via 7 and 6 hydroxyl epimerization) and dehydroxylated by the gut microbiota to form secondary species such as murideoxycholic acid and ω MCA.

In mice, these MCA derivatives and their conjugated and sulfated forms are cycled through the enterohepatic circulation: gut bacteria deconjugate and desulfate muricholic and CDCA-derived bile salts, while hepatocytes reconjugate and resulfate them via SLC27A5, BAAT and sulfotransferase 2A, leading to a bile acid pool that is more enriched in muricholic acids than in humans.
