Recombinant Human UGT1A1, MYC/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: UGT1A1-26H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human UGT1A1, fused with C-terminal MYC/DDK, was expressed in HEK293 cells.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, an enzyme of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic molecules, such as steroids, bilirubin, hormones, and drugs, into water-soluble, excretable metabolites. This gene is part of a complex locus that encodes several UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. The locus includes thirteen unique alternate first exons followed by four common exons. Four of the alternate first exons are considered pseudogenes. Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be spliced to the four common exons, resulting in nine proteins with different N-termini and identical C-termini. Each first exon encodes the substrate binding site, and is regulated by its own promoter. The preferred substrate of this enzyme is bilirubin, although it also has moderate activity with simple phenols, flavones, and C18 steroids. Mutations in this gene result in Crigler-Najjar syndromes types I and II and in Gilbert syndrome.

Q&As

What is the function of UGT1A1?

UGT1A1 converts lipophilic small molecules, such as drugs, into water-soluble and excretable metabolites.

What is the relationship between bilirubin and UGT1A1?

Bilirubin is a binding substrate for UGT1A1 and UGT1A1 is involved in bilirubin metabolism.

What diseases is UGT1A1 involved in?

UGT1A1 is involved in lung cancer, colorectal cancer and hyperbilirubinemia, among other diseases.

Where is UGT1A1 mainly expressed?

UGT1A1 is mainly expressed in the liver.

What are the effects of mutations in the UGT1A1 gene?

Mutations in the UGT1A1 gene prevent the glucuronidation of free bilirubin and reduces bilirubin metabolism and increases serum free bilirubin levels.
