Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) play important roles in the metabolism, detoxification,and clearance of many different xenobiotics, including drugs and endogenous compounds. Structural information about these membrane-bound enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum is limited. We do not know the identity or the location of the key residues for catalysis and binding of the aglycone substrate and the cosubstrate...
