Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are glycoproteins in endoplasmic reticulum membranes. UGT2B7 is an important UGT isoenzyme expressed in human liver and glucuronidates various endogenous and exogenous substances. Although this enzyme has three potential N-glycosylation sites (asparagine at positions 67, 68 and 315), no information is available on the actual glycosylated sites and the effects of N-glycosylation...
