The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Glucosidation plays a major role in the inactivation and excretion of a great variety of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is involved in this process.

Architecture, Chromatin and Gene Organization of Toxoplasma gondii Subtelomeres
Epigenomes, 2022 Subtelomeres (ST) are chromosome regions that separate telomeres from euchromatin and play relevant roles in various biological processes of the cell. While their functions are conserved, ST structure and genetic compositions are unique to each species ...
