How does the liver break down bilirubin?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Once in the liver, glucuronic acid is added to unconjugated bilirubin by the enzyme glucuronyl transferase. This forms conjugated bilirubin, which is soluble. This allows conjugated bilirubin to be excreted into the duodenum in bile.
