UGT pharmacogenomics

2003-08-01

Abstract excerpt

UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) belong to a superfamily of microsomal enzymes responsible for glucuronidation of numerous endogenous and exogenous compounds including bilirubin, hormones, various drugs as well as environmental carcinogens. Glucuronidation predominantly serves as a pathway for elimination of the different glucuronidated compounds. Seventeen human UGT transcripts have been identified thus far, a...
