Abstract excerpt
The P24T polymorphic variant of the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4*2, 70C>A) occurs within the signal peptide, five amino acids upstream of the cleavage site and the start of the mature protein. Bioinformatic analysis of the variant suggested that the signal peptide of part of the translated protein is cleaved two residues upstream of the regular site, whereas the rest is cleaved as usual. To test...
