Abstract excerpt
The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A (UGT1A) locus is regulated in a tissue specific fashion in liver and extrahepatic tissues. Three extrahepatic UGT1A proteins, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, and UGT1A10, have been discovered and are believed to contribute to the diversity of extrahepatic glucuronid...
