Piscine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1B.
Glucuronidation is an important detoxification pathway for organic pollutants in fish. We report here the isolation and characterisation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) genes from the closely related marine flatfish, plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus). The deduced amino acid sequences share greater similarity with mammalian UGT1 family genes than UGT2 genes (...
متن کاملQuantification of Hepatic UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A splice variant expression and correlation of UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 variant expression with glucuronidation activity.
The UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A gene cluster encodes nine UGT1A family members via splicing of individual first exons to common exons 2 through 5. Each of these nine UGT1As can also undergo alternative splicing at their 3' ends by using an alternate exon 5, resulting in 27 different UGT1A mRNA species with each UGT1A gene encoding three different combinations of 5A and 5B UGT1A exons. ...

متن کاملPolymorphisms and haplotypes of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 gene promoter.
Identification of functional polymorphisms in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) gene predicting interpatient variability in the glucuronidation of drugs that are primarily metabolized by UGT2B7 has been the subject of many studies. These studies have shown linkage disequilibrium (LD) covering the region from -2 kb to 16 kb of the UGT2B7 gene. We identified three novel single-nucleoti...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a novel human olfactory UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.
Xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in the olfactory epithelium have been suggested to catalyse inactivation and facilitate elimination of odorants. We report here the molecular cloning and functional characterization of a human olfactory UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). The cloned protein is composed of 527 amino acids with an identity of 87% with a rat olfactory UGT and of 43-62% with other hum...
