OBJECTIVES: Trans-3'-Hydroxycotinine (3HC) and its glucuronide are major nicotine metabolites excreted in the urine of smokers and other tobacco users. Although several members of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family of enzymes were previously shown to be active in catalyzing the formation of 3HC and its glucuronide, a comprehensive screening of all known human UGT1A and 2B enzymes for glucuronidation...
