Contribution of two missense mutations (G71R and Y486D) of the bilirubin UDP glycosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene to phenotypes of Gilbert's syndrome and Crigler–Najjar syndrome type II [PDF]

, 1998
In our mutation analyses of bilirubin UDP glycosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene, we encountered six patients with Crigler–Najjar syndrome type II who were double homozygotes for G71R and Y486D, a patient with Gilbert's syndrome who was a single homozygote ...

Functional Characterization of Hepatocytes for Cell Transplantation: Customized Cell Preparation for Each Receptor

Cell Transplantation, 2010
The first indication of hepatocyte transplantation is inborn liver-based metabolic disorders. Among these, urea cycle disorders leading to the impairment to detoxify ammonia and Crigler-Najjar Syndrome type I, a deficiency in the hepatic UDP ...

Maternal urinary bisphenol a during pregnancy and maternal and neonatal thyroid function in the CHAMACOS study. [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundBisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic bottles, food and beverage can linings, thermal receipts, and dental sealants. Animal and human studies suggest that BPA may disrupt thyroid function. Although thyroid

Revisiting the Latency of Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)—How Does the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Influence Their Function?

Pharmaceutics, 2017
Uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are phase 2 conjugation enzymes mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the liver and many other tissues, and can be recovered in artificial ER membrane preparations (microsomes).

Mechanistic studies of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 1994
Bisubstrate reaction kinetics and product inhibition studies were used to characterize the kinetic mechanism of a partially purified uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT). These studies indicate that the reaction most likely occurs via a random order sequential mechanism.

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

In vivo metabolism of ibuprofen in growing conventional pigs : a pharmacokinetic approach [PDF]

, 2019
The juvenile conventional pig has been suggested as a preclinical animal model to evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and safety parameters in children. However, a lot of developmental changes in pig physiology still need to be unraveled.

Effect of UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 activity on risk for developing Gilbert's syndrome

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Variations at the six nucleotides −3279 (T > G), −53 (A[TA]6TAA > A[TA]7TAA), 211 (G > A), 686 (C > A), 1091 (C > T), and 1456 (T > G) in the UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene were determined in 178 Taiwanese patients with Gilbert's syndrome ...

Gossypol Exhibits a Strong Influence Towards UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, 1A9 and 2B7-Mediated Metabolism of Xenobiotics and Endogenous Substances

Molecules, 2012
Gossypol, the polyphenolic constituent isolated from cottonseeds, has been used as a male antifertility drug for a long time, and has been demonstrated to exhibit excellent anti-tumor activity towards multiple cancer types.

Natural variation in a glucuronosyltransferase modulates propionate sensitivity in a C. elegans propionic acidemia model.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
Mutations in human metabolic genes can lead to rare diseases known as inborn errors of human metabolism. For instance, patients with loss-of-function mutations in either subunit of propionyl-CoA carboxylase suffer from propionic acidemia because they ...
