Abstract excerpt
Conjugation of exogenous and endogenous compounds by uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) is a pathway catalyzing the transfer of a glucuronic acid molecule from UDP glucuronic acid to lipophilic aglycones, which become more polar and more easily excretable in the bile or urine. UGTs are divided into two major families, UGT1 and UGT2. The isoform UGT1A10, along with UGT1A7 and UGT1A8, is expressed...
