Purification of uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase
Detoxification of compounds occurs in two phases. In phase I, a functional group on the toxicant is made available for subsequent Phase II reactions. In phase II, the functional groups are conjugated to a compound that will increase the solubility of the
