http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/10479484http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"The uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze conjugation reactions between various substrates and glucuronic acid, UDPGA (uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid), within the endoplasmic reticulum. Conjugation with UDPGA (glucuronidation) is an important pathway in the elimination, detoxification, and activation of compounds including steroid hormones, xenobiotics, and quaternary ammonium substrates. The guinea pig, which has a placental structure and a glucuronidation profile for morphine that are similar to the human, serves as a good small animal model to study the ontogeny of UGTs and the effect of in utero exposure to morphine on UGTs. We examined type 2 UGTs expressed in the guinea pig using amplification and cloning of partial cDNAs from liver RNA. Sequence analysis revealed a novel UGT2 (subsequently named UGT2A3),(2) that has a 64% amino acid sequence similarity to a known UGT2.(3) Full-length cDNAs were isolated from a guinea pig liver cDNA library. Tissue distribution of UGT2A3 using Northern blot analysis showed expression of three distinct size UGT2A3 mRNAs with unique expression in liver and small intestine. UGT2A3 mRNA is expressed at high levels in liver and lower levels in kidney and small intestine. In utero exposure to chronic intermittent morphine resulted in the up regulation of mRNA in 7-day-old female pups' liver and kidney as determined by quantitative RT-PCR analysis. The conjugation profile for UGT2A3 using stable expression in CHO cells and thin-layer chromatography demonstrated active conjugation of phenolic substrates. Regulation of UGTs by in utero morphine exposure may play an important role in fetal development."xsd:string
