Background

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-1 also known as UGT-1A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UGT1A1 gene. Predicted to enable several functions, including glucuronosyltransferase activity; protein dimerization activity; and retinoic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including biphenyl catabolic process; cellular glucuronidation; and negative regulation of cellular glucuronidation. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bilirubin metabolic disorder (multiple); cholecystolithiasis; cholelithiasis; female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human UGT1A1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1).

Function

UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX- alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4- methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone. Isoform 2 lacks transferase activity but acts as a negative regulator of isoform 1.

Components

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.
