Regulation and function of family 1 and family 2 UDP-glucuronosyltransferase genes (UGT1A, UGT2B) in human oesophagus.
Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are expressed in a tissue-specific fashion in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues [Strassburg, Manns and Tukey (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 8719-8726]. Previous work suggests that these enzymes play a protective role in chemical carcinogenesis [Strassburg, Manns and Tukey (1997) Cancer Res. 57, 2979-2985]. In this study, UGT1 and UGT2 gene expression was inv...
متن کاملXenobiotic Metabolism in Mice Lacking the UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 2 Family.
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) conjugate a glucuronyl group from glucuronic acid to a wide range of lipophilic substrates to form a hydrophilic glucuronide conjugate. The glucuronide generally has decreased bioactivity and increased water solubility to facilitate excretion. Glucuronidation represents an important detoxification pathway for both endogenous waste products and xenobiotics, in...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A and UGT2B expression levels in human livers.
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze glucuronidation of a variety of xenobiotics and endobiotics. UGTs are divided into two families, UGT1 and UGT2. The purpose of this study was to estimate the absolute expression levels of each UGT isoform in human liver and to evaluate the interindividual variability. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to...
متن کاملTissue 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 کاملPolymorphic expression of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A gene locus in human gastric epithelium.
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 glucuronidation. UGTs eliminate by glucuronidation a broad variety of endobiotic and xenobiotic substrates, wh...
