Pathway Description
Taurine and Hypotaurine Biosynthesis
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Metabolic Pathway
The biosynthesis of taurine and hypotaurine is processed by the same protein, glutamate decarboxylase. Hypotaurine is produced by 3-sulfino-L-alanine reacting with glutamate decarboxylase resulting in the release of carbon dioxide and hypotaurine. Taurine is produced by L-cysteate reacting with a glutamate decarboxylase resulting in the release of Taurine and carbon dioxide
