Bacterial beta-glucuronidases + reductases (gut microbiota)
What it does, reaction by reaction
Heme Degradation (Bilirubin Pathway) Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Reticuloendothelial system, liver ER, gut
Conjugated bilirubin → unconjugated bilirubin → urobilinogen
Converts Conjugated bilirubin into Unconjugated bilirubin
› Notes
Intestinal bacterial β-glucuronidases deconjugate bilirubin glucuronides, and bacterial reductases convert bilirubin to colorless urobilinogen. These are microbial rather than human enzymatic steps; no host ATP is directly consumed.
