Metabolism and Physiological Effects of O-Sulfotyrosine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126811MetabolicO-Sulfotyrosine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylalanine and derivatives. … O-Sulfotyrosine has been identified as a potential plasma biomarker of reduced kidney function in early chronic kidney disease (CKD), end stage renal disease (ESRD), and hemodialytic clearance.
Glutaminolysis and Cancer
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0002298DiseaseThe transportation of glutamine in and out regulates mTOR activation to coordinate cell growth and proliferation. … Once it reaches malic acid, it is transported outside the mitochondria and transformed into pyruvic acid and lactate.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000048MetabolicNicotinate (niacin) and nicotinamide - more commonly known as vitamin B3 - are precursors of the coenzymes nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP … The precursors are fed into the NAD+ biosynthetic pathwaythrough adenylation and phosphoribosylation reactions.
Fructose and Mannose Degradation
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000064MetabolicFructose causes less of an insulin response compared to glucose and thus may be a preferred sugar for diabetics. … Fructose and mannose are monosaccharides that can be found in many foods. Fructose can join with glucose to form sucrose. Mannose can be converted to glucose. Both may be used as food sweeteners.
Androgen and Estrogen Metabolism
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000068MetabolicThis pathway describes the inactivation and catabolism of male (androgen) and female (estrogen) hormones. … Many steroid hormones are transformed by sulfatases, dehydrogenases and glucuronide transferases to enhance their solubility and to facilitate their elimination.
NAD+ Signalling and Aging
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0084271SignalingAn interesting link has emerged between NAD+ metabolism, SIRT1, SIRT3, and mitochondrial function. … NR and PARP inhibitors increased life span in worms via activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response UPRmt by sir2.1.
Glycine and Serine Metabolism
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000004MetabolicThis pathway describes the synthesis and breakdown of several small amino acids, including glycine, serine, and cysteine. … All of these compounds share common intermediates and almost all can be biosynthesized from one another. Serine and glycine are not essential amino acids and can be synthesized from several routes.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000021Metabolicand returning them to the bile. … This includes acids such as chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid, and in turn the formation of bile salts occurs.
Pantothenate and CoA Biosynthesis
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000027MetabolicPantothenic acid, pantetheine 4’-phosphate and pantetheine are all found in red blood cells. … It is a precursor of coenzyme A, which is an essential part of many reactions in the body, specifically important in the production of compounds like cholesterol and different fatty acids.
Starch and Sucrose Metabolism
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000058MetabolicThe action of enterocytes of the small intestine microvilli further break down limit dextrins and disaccharides into monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose. … Amylase enzymes secreted in saliva by the parotid gland and in the small intestine play an important role in initiating starch digestion.
