Abstract excerpt
UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are an important class of Phase II enzymes involved in the metabolism and detoxification of numerous xenobiotics including therapeutic drugs and endogenous compounds (e.g. bilirubin). To date, there are 21 human UGT genes identified, and most of them contain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) of the human UGT genes may cause absent or reduced...
