Abstract excerpt
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are a superfamily of enzymes responsible for glucuronidation of xenobiotics and endobiotics. Genetic polymorphisms have been identified in the promoter and exonic regions of several UGT genes. The UGT1As on chromosome 2q37 have unique exons 1 but share the remainder of their coding sequence. We screened exon 1 of each of the nine functional UGT1As in Asians (n=46) and...
