Description

Urolithins are a class of bioactive metabolites derived from the metabolism of dietary ellagitannins by the human gut microbiota. In the gut, urolithins are dehydroxylated regioselectively based on microbiota composition and activity. A single 9-hydroxy urolithin dehydroxylase (ucd) operon in gut resident Enterocloster species has been described to date; however, most enzymes in the urolithin metabolic pathway remain uncharacterized.
