A Roadmap to the Structure-Related Metabolism Pathways of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Early Life Stages of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-03-31
Our findings identified five structural categories of PFAS prone to metabolism. The metabolism pathways of PFAS are highly related to their structures and significantly impact their bioaccumulations and toxicities. We also verified CES1 as an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing diverse PFAS, with strong substrate preferences towards perfluoroalkyl amides. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: Data generated by external academic lab with chemicals provided by EPA under an MTA. EPA’s contribution was providing the PFAS library.
