Assays were performed using pH 7.4 Tris buffer at 37°C for 1.0 h and membrane preparations of HK293 cells expressing UGT1A8. The concentration of UDP-glucuronic acid was 2.0 mM and the aglycone concentrations were 0.5 mM or as otherwise indicated. Values represent the average enzymatic rates from two different experiments. Stably expressed human UGT1A10 showed no glucuronidation activity with any compound listed in Table 4.
ND, not detected (limit of detection is 2.0 pmol/min/mg protein).
