- Bile acid and bile salt metabolism, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Bile acid and bile salt metabolism, organism-specific biosystemIn a healthy adult human, about 500 mg of cholesterol is converted to bile salts daily. Newly synthesized bile salts are secreted into the bile and released into the small intestine where they emulsi...
- Biological oxidations, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Biological oxidations, organism-specific biosystemAll organisms are constantly exposed to foreign chemicals every day. These can be man-made (drugs, industrial chemicals) or natural (alkaloids, toxins from plants and animals). Uptake is usually via ...
- Cytochrome P450 - arranged by substrate type, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Cytochrome P450 - arranged by substrate type, organism-specific biosystemThe P450 isozyme system is the major phase 1 biotransforming system in man, accounting for more than 90% of drug biotransformations. This system has huge catalytic versatility and a broad substrate s...
- Endogenous sterols, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Endogenous sterols, organism-specific biosystemA number of CYPs take part in cholesterol biosynthesis and elimination, thus playing an important role in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis. Under normal physiological conditions, cholesterol intak...
- Metabolism, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Metabolism, organism-specific biosystemMetabolic processes in human cells generate energy through the oxidation of molecules consumed in the diet and mediate the synthesis of diverse essential molecules not taken in the diet as well as th...
- Metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins, organism-specific biosystemLipids are hydrophobic but otherwise chemically diverse molecules that play a wide variety of roles in human biology. They include ketone bodies, fatty acids, triacylglycerols, phospholipids and sphi...
- Phase 1 - Functionalization of compounds, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Phase 1 - Functionalization of compounds, organism-specific biosystemPhase 1 of metabolism is concerned with functionalization, that is the introduction or exposure of functional groups on the chemical structure of a compound. This provides a 'handle' for phase 2 conj...
- Primary bile acid biosynthesis, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Primary bile acid biosynthesis, organism-specific biosystemBile acids are steroid carboxylic acids derived from cholesterol in vertebrates. The primary bile acids, cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, are synthesized in the liver and conjugated with taurin...
- Primary bile acid biosynthesis, conserved biosystem (from KEGG)
Primary bile acid biosynthesis, conserved biosystemBile acids are steroid carboxylic acids derived from cholesterol in vertebrates. The primary bile acids, cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, are synthesized in the liver and conjugated with taurin...
- Steroid hormone biosynthesis, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Steroid hormone biosynthesis, organism-specific biosystemSteroid hormones derived from cholesterol are a class of biologically active compounds in vertebrates. The cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme CYP11A1 catalyzes conversion of cholesterol, a C27 co...

- Synthesis of bile acids and bile salts, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Synthesis of bile acids and bile salts, organism-specific biosystemIn a healthy adult human, about 500 mg of cholesterol is converted to bile salts daily (Russell 2003). The major pathway for bile salt synthesis in the liver begins with the conversion of cholesterol...
- Synthesis of bile acids and bile salts via 27-hydroxycholesterol, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Synthesis of bile acids and bile salts via 27-hydroxycholesterol, organism-specific biosystemIn the body, 27-hydroxycholesterol is synthesized in multiple tissues, exported to the liver, and converted there to bile acids and bile salts. This pathway is only a minor source of bile acids and b...
