Chenodeoxycholic acid
Chenodeoxycholic acid (or Chenodiol) is an epimer of ursodeoxycholic acid (DB01586). Chenodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid naturally found in the body. It works by dissolving the cholesterol that makes gallstones and inhibiting production of cholesterol in the liver and absorption in the intestines, which helps to de...

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000317DiseaseFamilial Hypercholanemia can be caused by mutations in the TJP2, BAAT or EPHX1 genes which code for bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase, which plays a part in the metabolism of in bile acids. This enzyme plays a particularly impor...
Congenital Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Type III
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125690DiseaseCongenital Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Type III (CBASIII) is caused by a defect in 25-hydroxycholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase, which plays a role in synthesis of bile acids. The synthesis of primary bile acids from cholesterol occurs via t...
Congenital Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Type II
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000314DiseaseCongenital Bile Acid Synthesis Defect Type II is a congenital defect in bile acid synthesis with delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase deficiency is caused by mutation in the AKR1D1 gene. 3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase catalyzes t...

27-Hydroxylase Deficiency
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000720DiseaseSterol 27-hydroxylase is a mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 species (CYP27) that catalyzes the first step in the degradation of steroid side chain in cholesterol to produce bile acids in the liver. When there are low concentrations of 27-H...
