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.
