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).

Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type 2
Crigler-Najjar syndrome is a rare disorder of bilirubin metabolism with two distinct forms: type 1 and type 2. We report three patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 2 (CN-2).

Diverse biological effects of glycosyltransferase genes from Tartary buckwheat [PDF]
Background: Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an edible cereal crop whose sprouts have been marketed and commercialized for their higher levels of anti-oxidants, including rutin and anthocyanin. UDP-glucose flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs)

Involvement of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases and Sulfotransferases in the Excretion and Tissue Distribution of Resveratrol in Mice. [PDF]
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with various pharmacological activities. It is unknown whether the expression of metabolizing enzymes correlates with resveratrol levels in organs and tissues.

Deficiency of Capicua disrupts bile acid homeostasis [PDF]
Capicua (CIC) has been implicated in pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 and cancer in mammals; however, the in vivo physiological functions of CIC remain largely unknown.

Hematologically important mutations: bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene mutations in Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndromes. [PDF]
Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndromes are familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias caused by genetic lesions involving a single complex locus encoding for bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene.
