STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL STUDIES OF UDP-GLUCURONOSYLTRANSFERASES*

Drug Metabolism Reviews, 1999
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are glycoproteins localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which catalyze the conjugation of a broad variety of lipophilic aglycon substrates with glucuronic acid using UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GIcUA) as the sugar donor. Glucuronidation is a major factor in the elimination of lipophilic compounds from the body. In

The inhibition of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) by vitamin A

Xenobiotica, 2016
1. The exposed level of vitamin A in plasma might be exceeded due to the both inadvertent and clinical utilization. The adverse effects of vitamin A have been frequently reported, however, the mechanism remains unclear. The inhibition of vitamin A on the activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) was determined using in vitro incubation system to ...

Metabolism of Endobiotics and Xenobiotics by UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase

1997
Publisher Summary All organisms are exposed to a number of chemical compounds that are toxic were it not for metabolic mechanisms available to the organism to moderate their effects. Chemical substances may be xenobiotics, such as drugs, or compounds presented to the organism from environmental or dietary sources.

Roles of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases in Chemical Carcinogenesi

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) play a major role in the elimination of nucleophilic metabolites of carcinogens, such as phenols and quinols of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this way they prevent their further oxidation to electrophiles, which may react with DNA, RNA, and protein.
