1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase is a group of catabolic enzymes involved in the detoxification and excretion of many xenobiotic and endogeneous substances in intrahepatic and extrahepatic tissues. The group consists of two subfamilies, UGT1 and UGT2. UGT1 consists of 5 exons and has a unique gene structure. There are thirteen exon 1s from UGT1A1 to UGT1A13P, and exon 2 to exon 5 are used in common for all mRNAs...
