Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucuronidation is a major phase II biotransformation reaction responsible for the inactivation and elimination of endogenous compounds and pharmaceuticals. This process is catalyzed by enzymes belonging to the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family, among which UGT1A1 is the most extensively studied. UGT1A1 plays a critical role in the metabolism of numerous drugs and is essential for bilirubin...
