Abstract excerpt
The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A gene locus is organized to generate enzymes, which share a carboxyterminal portion and are unique at their aminoterminal variable region. Expression is tissue-specific and overlapping substrate specificities include a broad spectrum of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds as well as many therapeutic drugs targeted for detoxification and elimination by glucuronidation. The...
