The membrane fractions prepared from the indicated clonal HEK cell lines were assayed for APAP UGT activity using an HPLC-based procedure. Assays contained 2.5 mM APAP and 3 mM UDP-glucuronic acid. The data represent the average of three determinations, with the standard deviation not exceeding 10%. The detection limit was 0.05 nmol/min/mg.
