Postnatal development of uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase activity towards bilirubin and 2-aminophenol in human liver.
UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities towards 2-aminophenol and bilirubin were studied in a total of 70 human subjects, including premature and full-term newborn babies, infants, children and adults. These two activities have been reported in rat to develop latefoetally and neonatally respectively, but in man they both develop neonatally. There is a linear relationship between the logarithm of e...
متن کاملAssay and properties of dititonin-activated bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase from rat liver.
1. The bilirubin UDP-glucuronyltransferase assay described by Van Roy & Heirwegh (1968) has been improved. 2. Extraction of final azo-derivatives is rendered more simple and efficient by thorough emulsification and by cooling. 3. Pretreatment of homogenates and cell fractions with digitonin increases the sensitivity of the assays and gives less variable results than those with untreated prepara...
متن کاملDevelopment of uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase activity in cultures of chick-embryo liver.
1. The liver of the domestric fowl (Gallus gallus) remains capable of conjugating o-aminophenol with glucuronic acid after 8 days' culture. The pathway of o-aminophenyl glucuronide formation in cultured liver, as in fresh tissue, includes the enzyme UDP-glucuronyltransferase. 2. UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity in chick-embryo liver increases on culture from very low to adult values within 6-...
متن کاملDevelopment of Phenobarbital-sensitive Control Mechanisms for Uridine Diphosphate Glucuronyltransferase Activity in Chick Embryo Liver
Uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucuronyltransferase activity in chick liver rises at hatching from near zero to adult levels. This rise will occur prematurely in embryo liver during organ culture. Increase in enzyme activity during organ culture differs with embryo age: in liver from 11-day old embryos it ceases at adult values; in liver from 5-day old embryos it continues to much higher-than-adult...
متن کاملThe heterogeneity of uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase from rat liver.
1. The glucuronide conjugation of p-nitrophenol, phenolphthalein, o-aminophenol and 4-methylumbelliferone by rat liver microsomes has been studied. The detergent Triton X-100 activated UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity towards all these substrates, therefore the optimum activating concentration was added in all experiments. 2. Mg(2+) enhanced the conjugation of the substrates. 3. With phenolph...
