Pathway Description
Taurine Metabolism I
Escherichia coli
Category:
Metabolite Pathway
Sub-Category:
Metabolic
Created: 2015-08-20
Last Updated: 2025-11-10
Taurine is incorporated into the cytoplasm through a taurine ABC transporter. Once inside the cytoplasm, taurine interacts with an oxoglutaric acid and an oxygen through a taurine dioxygenase resulting in the release of succinic acid, sulfite , aminoacetaldehyde and carbon dioxide.
