Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase, the rate-determining enzyme in the bile acid biosynthesis pathway, is regulated in a negative feedback manner by hydrophobic bile salts returning to the liver via the portal circulation. The role of cholesterol in the…
Cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the bile acid biosynthetic pathway. Regulation of this pathway is thought to occur solely as a result of a negative feedback control mechanism that is dependent upon the flux and…
