Liver Metabolism I Flashcards
1
Q
What is the rate limiting step of the classical/neutral pathway for bile acid synthesis?
A
7-hydroxylation
2
Q
What enzyme catalyzes 7-hydroxylation in the classical/neutral pathway?
A
CYP7A1 (7-alphahydroxylase)
3
Q
What catalyzes 27 hydroxylation in the alternate/acidic pathway?
A
CYP27A1 (sterol 27-hydroxylase)
4
Q
What catalyzes 7-hydroxylation in the alternate/acidic pathway?
A
CYP7B1 and CYP39A1.
5
Q
What is the CYP enzyme activated by ethanol? (and involved in NAPQI formation)
A
CYP2E1 (this is supposed to be in liver metabolism II, but whatever).
