Glucuronyl transferase
Definition
Glucuronyl transferase is a liver enzyme. It changes bilirubin into a form that can be removed through the bile. It also changes some hormones, medicines, and toxins into non-harmful products.
Alternate Names : Glucuronyl transferase deficiency (type I Crigler-Najjar), Arias syndrome (type II Crigler-Najjar)
Definition ...
Glucuronyl transferase deficiency (type I Crigler-Najjar); Arias syndrome (type II Crigler-Najjar)
Causes, incidence, and risk factors ...
Deficiency, Prothrombin, Dihydro-Orotate Oxidase, Ethinyl Estradiol, (8 alpha)-Isomer, Ethylmercury Chloride, Genes, Glucuronyl Transferase, UDP, Gout, Hexakisphosphate, Inositol, Hypnotics, Impressions, Basilar, Infection, Picornaviridae, Iohexol, ...
Autosomal dominant, bilirubin, bilirubin-BUGT, bilirubin-uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase, jaundice, liver disorder, nonhemolytic jaundice, unconjugated bilirubin.
Conjugation: Unconjugated bilirubin in the liver is conjugated to form mainly bilirubin diglucuronide, or conjugated (direct-reacting) bilirubin. This reaction, catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme glucuronyl transferase, ...
If diagnosis remains uncertain, moreextensive studies for rarer forms of hemolytic disease and enzymeassay for uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase activity shouldbe considered.
