Abstract excerpt
The hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rat lacks hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity toward bilirubin and has been used as an animal model for human Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I. Rat liver bilirubin UDPGT cDNA was isolated. The cDNA shared an identical 913-bp sequence (corresponding to th...
