Glucuronosyltransferase (UDP Glucuronosyltransferase)

A family of enzymes accepting a wide range of substrates, including phenols, alcohols, amines, and fatty acids. They function as drug-metabolizing enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of UDPglucuronic acid to a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds. EC 2.4.1.17.

01/01/1993 - "The potentiating effect of vanadium was supported by biochemical analysis of autopsies relating to markers like microsomal cytochrome P-450, UDP glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) and cytosolic glutathione-S-transferase (GSHT) in the hepatic tissue of the hosts, which showed substantial alterations in the extent of tumor regression as compared to their lymphoma and normal counterparts, prolonging the survival of the hosts."
01/01/1996 - "In an attempt to confirm the efficacy of D3 as an antineoplastic agent, the present investigation aims at characterizing the importance of D3 in modulating hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes, namely, cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GSHT), microsomal UDP glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT), and cytochrome P-450, which have been reported by us in recent literature as significant neoplastic markers in mice bearing Dalton's lymphoma (DL). "
01/01/2015 - "The uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) gene 1A1*6 polymorphism, which affects irinotecan metabolism, has been associated with improved survival in lymphoma patients treated with of carboplatin, dexamethasone, etoposide and irinotecan (CDE-11). "
02/01/2015 - "Japanese clinical practice guidelines indicate that some clinical biomarkers, such as epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations, echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene and uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase genotypes should be determined in appropriate lung cancer patients. "
01/01/2016 - "Genotypic analysis identified the expression of wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog, serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-1. There was no expression of echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase and a moderate expression of excision repair cross-complementation group 1, ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase large subunit and tubulin β-3 chain.
