Murine chenodeoxycholic acid - muricholic acid/ murideoxycholic acid pathway: bile salt deconjugation, secondary bile acid synthesis, reconjugation and sulfation (Mus musculus)
From WikiPathways
Description
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.
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.
