1 reactions · 1 pathways

What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Bile Acid Synthesis Lipid Metabolism · ER + mitochondrion + peroxisome

step 3 Irreversible/directional

Bile acid + glycine or taurine -> glyco- or tauro-conjugated bile salt

Converts Bile acid Glycine or taurine into Glyco- or tauro-conjugated bile salt

Notes

Conjugation lowers the pKa so the bile salts stay ionised and act as detergents at intestinal pH.
