Benzene metabolism (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
This pathway describes the metabolism of benzene. It is metabolised in the liver and forms several metabolites that can be toxic to the human body. Some of the metabolites are very volatile and can be found in blood and exhaled breath.
