basic FUNCTION
| involved in the transfer of glucuronic acid (or other nucleotide sugars) to bilirubin |
|
catalyze the glucuronidation of xenobiotics, mutagens, and reactive metabolites and thus act as indirect antioxidants (Kalthoff 2010) |
|
exhibiting glucuronidating activity against metabolites of the tobacco smoke carcinogen, benzo(a)pyrene |
|
having a major role in the elimination of lipophilic chemicals by glucuronidation |
|
having a potential role in hepatic detoxification (Li 2007) |
|
catalyzed dopamine glucuronidation at substantial rates, yielding both dopamine-4-O-glucuronide and dopamine-3-O-glucuronide (Itäaho 2009) |
