The UDP Glucuronosyltransferase Gene Super family: Suggested Nomenclature Based on Evolutionary Divergence

1 Sept 1991

Abstract excerpt

A nomenclature system for the UDP glucuronosyltransferase superfamily is proposed, based on divergent evolution of the genes. A total of 26 distinct cDNAs in five mammalian species have been sequenced to date. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences leads to the definition of two families and a total of three subfamilies. For naming each gene, we propose that the root symbol UGT for human (Ugt for mouse),...
