Abstract excerpt
The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) plays a central role in the metabolism of different therapeutic drugs, carcinogens and endobiotics. The UGT1A9 gene shows genetic polymorphism with frequencies significantly different in populations and ethnic groups. Many of these genetic variants are directly responsible for polymorphic drug metabolism. Three crucial alleles of UGT1A9, UGT1A9*3 (p.Met33Thr), *4...
