Tissue-specific, Inducible, and Hormonal Control of the Human UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase-1 (UGT1) Locus
9 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1) locus spans nearly 200 kb on chromosome 2 and encodes nine UGT1A proteins that play a prominent role in drug and xenobiotic metabolism. Transgenic UGT1 (Tg-UGT1) mice have been created, and it has been demonstrated that tissue-specific and xenobiotic receptor control of the UGT1A genes is influenced through circulating humoral factors. In Tg-UGT1 mice, the UGT1A...
