Pathway Description
Taurine Metabolism
Escherichia coli (strain ATCC 55124 / KO11)
Category:
Metabolite Pathway
Sub-Category:
Metabolic
Created: 2024-12-13
Last Updated: 2025-07-08
Taurine enters into the cytoplasm through a taurine ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Once inside, the enzyme taurine dioxygenase encourages the interaction between taurine, oxoglutaric acid and oxygen resulting in the release of succinic acid, sulfite, aminoacetaldehyde, and carbon dioxide.
