Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Hydroxystyrene
Description4-Hydroxystyrene, also known as 4-vinylphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as styrenes. These are organic compounds containing an ethenylbenzene moiety. 4-Hydroxystyrene is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 4-Hydroxystyrene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 4-Hydroxystyrene is a sweet, almond shell, and chemical tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 4-Hydroxystyrene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as white wines, beers, and corns and in a lower concentration in taco, bilberries, and tortilla. 4-Hydroxystyrene has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as asparagus, cauliflowers, evergreen blackberries, tea, and tortilla chips. This could make 4-hydroxystyrene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Styrene is a prohapten metabolized in the skin by aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH, EC1.14.14.1) to styrene epoxide acting as the true hapten. Styrene occurs in nature and as a synthetic product. 4-hydroxystyrene occurs frequently in different ciders, wines, foods and berries, e.g. cloudberry.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
