phthalate metabolic process
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The chemical reactions and pathways involving phthalate, the anion of phthalic acid. Phthalic acid diesters are used industrially in the production of a variety of household and consumer goods including plastic polymers, lubricating oils, and carriers for perfumes in cosmetics, while phthalic acid itself is used industrially as a plasticizer. Terephthalate is used in the synthesis of polyethylene terephthalate (polyethene terephthlate, abbreviated PET or PETE), a plastic polymer with many commercial uses. [UM-BBD_pathwayID:pth]
Phthalate metabolic process involves the breakdown of phthalate esters, a class of chemicals widely used in various consumer products. These esters are initially hydrolyzed by esterases to release phthalic acid and an alcohol. The released phthalic acid then undergoes further metabolism by different enzymes. One key step is the oxidation of phthalic acid to monomethyl phthalate by the enzyme phthalic acid monooxygenase. Subsequent reactions involve further oxidation and conjugation with various molecules, including glutathione and glucuronic acid. This conjugation process increases the water solubility of the metabolites, facilitating their excretion from the body. The overall metabolic process involves the coordinated action of multiple enzymes and pathways, leading to the detoxification and elimination of phthalate esters. The exact metabolic pathway and its efficiency can vary depending on the specific phthalate ester involved and individual factors.'
