Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A3 (UGT1A3) contributes to glucuronidation of many important endogenous compounds and xenobiotics, including some flavonoids. Recently, a total of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the human UGT1A3 gene. Among them, four SNPs (A17G, Q6R; T31C, W11R; C133T, R45W; and T140C, V47A) cause amino acid substitutions. Variants caused by these SNPs showed an...
