Enzymatic activity was determined with 100 μM substrate, 4 mM UDPGlcUA, and 50 μg of protein as described under Materials and Methods. Results are expressed as the mean ± S.D. for at least four determinations.

  • 1-a  Carboxyl-linked glucuronide.

  • 1-b  Glucuronide structure not determined.

  • 1-c  Hydroxyl-linked glucuronide.
