Tissue mRNA expression of the rat UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene family.
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are phase II biotransformation enzymes that glucuronidate numerous endobiotic and xenobiotic substrates. Glucuronidation increases the water solubility of the substrate and facilitates renal and biliary excretion of the resulting glucuronide conjugate. UGTs have been divided into two gene families, UGT1 and UGT2. Tissue distribution of UGTs has not been thoro...
متن کاملStrain differences in rat liver (UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity towards androsterone.
Male Donryu, Wistar King rats showed discontinuous variations in hepatic microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities towards androsterone, but not towards testosterone, bilirubin, phenolphthalein and 4-nitrophenol. Fresh microsomal fraction with a low transferase activity towards androsterone formed 0.049--0.080 nmole of glucuronide/min per mg of protein, whereas fresh microsomal fraction w...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولCharacterization of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoenzyme expressed in rat ovary and its regulation by gonadotropins.
Earlier studies have demonstrated that phenol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity is up-regulated by pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) in rat ovary, but not liver. This phenomenon was investigated in more detail in the present study. Ovaries and livers of immature rats, rats synchronized with respect to their preovulatory and corpus luteal phases by treatment with PMSG, and matur...
متن کاملPurification and properties of microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase from rat liver.
p-Nitrophenol conjugating activity associated with liver microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) was purified 150- to 200-fold from cell-free homogenates. The purification scheme included solubilization with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX, anion exchange chromatography at pH 6.0 and 7.5, and affinity chromatography with UDP-hexanolamine Sepharose 4B. The enzyme purified as a phos...
