Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B15 (UGT2B15) is involved in the glucoronidation of steroid hormones as well as many drugs. Genetic variations in UGT2B15 have been shown to affect enzyme function and suggested to have a role in human diseases, such as breast and prostate cancers. In the present study, we sequenced genomic DNA from 50 normal Korean subjects to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in...
