Abstract excerpt
Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) is a part of a major excretion pathway for endobiotics and xenobiotics. The UGT family of genes is highly polymorphic, and our aim is to describe novel polymorphisms at the UGT1A3 locus and determine how they alter substrate metabolism and drug reactions. One hundred healthy Japanese adults volunteered for the present study. We sequenced PCR-amplified fragments of the gene...
