[UDP-glucuronosyltransferase].
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) represent a family of enzymes that glucuronidate many internal substances and drugs. This family acts as a drug metabolism phase II reactor in the liver and comprises one of the major protective mechanisms from toxic chemical substances. UGTs have two subfamilies; UGT1 and UGT2.

Arabidopsis thalianaglucuronosyltransferase in family GT14 [PDF]
Arabinogalactan proteins are abundant cell-surface proteoglycans in plants and are involved in many cellular processes including somatic embryogenesis, cell-cell interactions, and cell elongation. We reported a glucuronosyltransferase encoded by Arabidopsis AtGlcAT14A, which catalyzes an addition of glucuronic acid residues to β-1,3- and β-1,6-linked ...

We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Cannabinoids and drug–drug pharmacokinetic interactions: Deciphering the risks
The relationship between cannabinoids and mental health has become a major focus of scientific inquiry and public discourse. Cannabinoids are diverse chemical compounds from the Cannabis species that have been explored for their therapeutic applications in treating chronic pain, psychiatric and neurological conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia,

Regulation of Sulfotransferase and UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Gene Expression by the PPARs
During phase II metabolism, a substrate is rendered more hydrophilic through the covalent attachment of an endogenous molecule. The cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) families of enzymes account for the majority of ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Crigler‐Najjar Syndrome (CNS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) deficiency, leading to unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Without treatment, patients are at high risk of kernicterus and irreversible neurological damage.
