Hyodeoxycholate-6-O-glucuronide cannot be quantitated with 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

The reaction of the 6-hydroxylated bile acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and its 6-O-glucuronide conjugate with 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was examined. A standard end-point assay and determination of the initial rates of reaction showed only minimal activity of the enzyme toward hyodeoxycholate...

description The reaction of the 6-hydroxylated bile acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and its 6-O-glucuronide conjugate with 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was examined. A standard end-point assay and determination of the initial rates of reaction showed only minimal activity of the enzyme toward hyodeoxycholate-6-glucuronide in spite of the presence of a free 3 alpha-hydroxyl group. It was established that 6-hydroxylation itself did not significantly affect the enzyme reaction. It is concluded that the 6-glucuronide either blocks or hinders enzyme access to the 3-hydroxyl group.
