Associations of ugt-8 with chemical compounds

  • Possible functional roles of the adult E/S products were examined but we could find no evidence of protease activity in the E/S or glutathione S-transferase activity in either the E/S or in whole somatic extract [10].
  • This article is an attempt to provide, in an easily accessible format, a compilation of genes and cDNAs that have been sequenced and deposited in GenBank that encode transferase enzymes involved in eukaryotic glycoprotein or glycolipid biosynthesis [11].
  • A soluble GSH transferase of the parasitic nematode Ascaridia galli has now been purified which shows high activity and specificity in the GSH-dependent isomerization of PGH to PGE, comparable to that of the rat spleen enzyme in its isomerization of PGH to PGD, and similarly stimulates the activity of prostaglandin H synthase [12].
  • The bromodomain can regulate histone acetyl transferase activity and interacts specifically with acetylated lysine residues [13].
  • The trematode and cestode exhibit propionyl-CoA carboxylase, methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and acyl-CoA transferase activities in sonicated mitochondrial preparations [14].
