A pharmacogenetics study of the human glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A4 [PDF]
UGT1A4 is primarily expressed in the liver and exhibits catalytic activities for various drugs. Amongst the few UGT1A4 polymorphisms evaluated, studies support the alteration of UGT1A4-mediated glucuronidation by a few variations including the Pro²⁴Thr and Leu⁴⁸Val variants (referred to as UGT1A4*2 and *3).We therefore investigated genetic mechanisms ...

Polymorphic expression of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGTlA gene in human colorectal cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Polymorphism of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes is known to play an important role in increased susceptibility of colorectal cancer. UGT1A gene locus has been suggested to define tissue-specific glucuronidation activity.

Implementing Pre-Emptive Pharmacogenetics: Impact of Early Pharmacogenetic Screening in a Pediatric Oncology Cohort of 1,151 Subjects. [PDF]
In pediatric oncology, pharmacogenetic guidelines are underutilized and the potential impact of pre‐emptive pharmacogenetic screening remains largely unexplored despite this field's need for individualized approaches. While comprehensive pharmacogenetic guidelines are not yet available for all anticancer drugs, evidence‐based recommendations exist for ...

Recombinant expression and functional characterisation of regiospecific flavonoid glucosyltransferases from Hieracium pilosella L. [PDF]
Five glucosyltransferases were cloned by RT-PCR amplification using total RNA from Hieracium pilosella L. (Asteraceae) inflorescences as template. Expression was accomplished in Escherichia coli, and three of the HIS-tagged enzymes, UGT90A7, UGT95A1, and
