Mycobacterial Cell Wall Synthesis Pathway (MCS)
- Target
- MCS
- Molecular classification
- Metabolic pathway, Enzyme complex, Biosynthetic pathway
01
Overview
The mycobacterial cell wall synthesis pathway is a complex, multi-step process essential for the survival and virulence of mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). It involves the biosynthesis and assembly of peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan, mycolic acids, and other lipids, forming a unique cell envelope that acts as a permeability barrier and protects the bacterium from environmental stresses and host immune responses. Inhibition of key enzymes in this pathway is a major target for anti-tuberculosis drugs.
