Abstract excerpt
The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family plays a major role in the excretion of endobiotics and xenobiotics and their metabolites. Human UGT1A4 catalyzes the glucuronidation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, sapogenins, androgens, and progestins. We directly sequenced polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragments of the UGT1A4 gene from 100 healthy adult Japanese volunteers and calculated their...
