Abstract
Taurodeoxycholic acid is 7α hydroxylated to form taurocholic acid by rat liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH. This enzymatic reaction has a Km of 0.03 mM. The reaction is inhibited by CO:O2 mixtures with a K (Warburg's partition constant) of 0.5. The inhibition is maximally reversed by monochromatic light at the wavelength of 450 nm. These observations establish the P-450 dependence of 7α hydroxylation of taurodeoxycholic acid.
