17β-Estradiol up-regulates UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 expression via estrogen receptor α [PDF]
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) is a major phase II enzyme responsible for elimination of drugs and endogenous molecules. Clinical data have shown increased elimination of UGT1A9 substrates in pregnant women or oral contraceptive users, but the ...

A mutation which disrupts the hydrophobic core of the signal peptide of bilirubin UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase, an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, causes Crigler‐Najjar type IIs [PDF]
Crigler-Najjar (CN) disease is caused by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme, bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (B-UGT). We have found two CN type II patients, who were homozygous for a leucine to arginine transition at position 15 of B-UGT1.

Common genetic variation in cellular transport genes and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk [PDF]
Background Defective cellular transport processes can lead to aberrant accumulation of trace elements, iron, small molecules and hormones in the cell, which in turn may promote the formation of reactive oxygen species, promoting DNA damage and ...

Piscine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1B [PDF]
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).
