چکیده

1. Conjugated bilirubin is conveniently determined by coupling with the diazonium salt of ethyl anthranilate. 2. This method has been used in the development of assays for UDP-glucuronyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17), with bilirubin as substrate, in rat liver homogenates, microsomal preparations and partly purified fractions. 3. Chromatographic analysis suggests that bilirubin monoglucuronide is the product of the enzyme systems studied.

Specific Assay and Kinetic Studies by Kim

1. Bilirubin glucuronide was synthesized in vitro in a system containing a rat liver microsomal fraction, UDP-glucuronic acid, Mg2+ and bilirubin. The enzymic synthesis was accomplished without the addition of a bilirubin carrier. 2. Azobilirubin and azobilirubin glucuronide were separated by t.l.c. and paper chromatography and the measurement of the conjugate provided a specific asay for bilir...

Hepatic conversion of bilirubin monoglucuronide to diglucuronide in uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl transferase-deficient man and rat by bilirubin glucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase.

The microsomal enzyme uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucuronate glucuronyltransferase (E.C. 2.4.1.17) catalyzes formation of bilirubin mono-glucuronide from bilirubin and UDPglucuronic acid. Bilirubin glucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase (E.C. 2.4.1.95), an enzyme concentrated in plasma membrane-enriched fractions of rat liver, converts bilirubin monoglucuronide to bilirubin diglucuronide. Bilirub...

The formation of bilirubin and p-nitrophenyl glucuronides by rabbit liver.

1. Glucuronide formation of bilirubin and p-nitrophenol in vitro with excess of UDP-glucuronic acid by UDP-glucuronyltransferase from livers of young and adult rabbits was studied. 2. The development of UDP-glucuronyltransferase for the two substrates followed a markedly different pattern during maturation of young rabbits, p-nitrophenol-conjugation ability being much higher at birth than that ...

Stimulation of microsomal uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase by glucuronic acid derivatives.

The glucuronic acid adducts of 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol and 4-methylumbelliferone activate microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) when the enzyme is assayed with p-nitrophenol as aglycone. Phenyl glucuronide and oestriol 3beta-glucuronide also activate UDP-glucuronyltransferase. but to a lesser extent. Activation by glucuronides is not dependent on metal ions, but is blocked by prior ...
