18981171 Mackenzie PI, Rogers A, Treloar J, Jorgensen BR, Miners JO, Meech R: Identification of UDP glycosyltransferase 3A1 as a UDP N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. J Biol Chem. 2008 Dec 26;283(52):36205-10. Epub 2008 Nov 3.

In addition to ursodeoxycholic acid, UGT3A1 has activity toward 17alpha-estradiol, 17beta-estradiol, and the prototypic substrates of the UGT1 and UGT2 forms, 4-nitrophenol and 1-naphthol.

Northern blot analysis using a pool of human UGT2B cDNA probes demonstrated the expression of homologous UGT2B transcripts in several tissues including the liver, kidney, adrenal, breast, testis, and prostate of the cynomolgus monkey (Macacafascicularis).
The activity of UGT2B9 was tested with over 60 compounds and was demonstrated to be active on C18, C19, and C21 steroids, bile acids, and several xenobiotics including eugenol, 1-naphthol, and p-nitrophenol.

An N-terminal domain histidine [corresponding to position 39 of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1] is conserved in all UGT1A and UGT2B subfamily proteins except UGT1A4 (Pro-40) and UGT2B10 (Leu-34).

The deduced amino acid sequences of UGTs 2B10 and 2B11 share > 76% sequence similarity with other known human liver UGT2B subfamily isoforms and < 48% sequence similarity with UGT1 family proteins.
UGT2B11 expressed in COS-7 cells glucuronidated a number of polyhydroxylated estrogens (estriol, 4-hydroxyestrone and 2-hydroxyestriol) and xenobiotics (4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, 4-nitrophenol, 2-aminophenol, 4-hydroxybiphenyl and menthol).

The deduced amino acid sequences share greater similarity with mammalian UGT1 family genes than UGT2 genes (44-47% and 39-40% amino acid identity, respectively) and have been designated UGT1B.
Expression of a cDNA for plaice UGT1B in cos7 cells resulted in higher 1-naphthol conjugation in cell homogenates compared to steroid conjugation, whilst bilirubin and bile acid conjugation were undetectable.

Two cDNA libraries were constructed from monkey liver and prostate mRNA, and a novel UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGT2B cDNA, UGT2B19, was isolated from both libraries.
The enzyme also conjugates xenobiotics including eugenol, 1-naphthol and p-nitrophenol.
