Assignment of the human UDP glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT1A1) to chromosome region 2q37
14 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) comprise a multigene family of drug-metabolizing enzymes. The sub-family of UGTs that conjugate bilirubin and phenolic compounds with glucuronic acid has been termed UGT1A1. In man, UGT1A1 isoforms are encoded by a single gene, UGT1A1. Protein isoforms encoded by UGT1A1 originate by alternative splicing. In the present study, we used the cDNA of UGT1A1*4, a...
