UGT1A1 Antibody / Drug Metabolism Enzyme Antibody recognizes UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 (UGT1A1), a major Phase II metabolic enzyme responsible for the glucuronidation of bilirubin, therapeutic drugs, environmental chemicals, and numerous endogenous compounds. By catalyzing the transfer of glucuronic acid to lipophilic substrates, UGT1A1 increases their water solubility and facilitates elimination through bile or urine. This activity is essential for hepatic detoxification and metabolic homeostasis, making UGT1A1 Antibody / Drug Metabolism Enzyme Antibody a valuable tool for studies of liver biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and precision medicine.
UGT1A1 is expressed primarily in hepatocytes, with additional expression in the gastrointestinal tract and selected extrahepatic tissues. The enzyme plays a critical role in bilirubin metabolism by converting unconjugated bilirubin into conjugated bilirubin for excretion. Beyond bilirubin clearance, UGT1A1 glucuronidates numerous xenobiotics, steroid hormones, dietary compounds, and prescription medications, thereby regulating drug disposition and protecting tissues from the accumulation of potentially toxic metabolites. Because glucuronidation represents one of the principal mechanisms of Phase II metabolism, UGT1A1 is a central component of the body's detoxification system.
Inherited variants of the UGT1A1 gene are responsible for disorders including Gilbert syndrome and Crigler-Najjar syndrome, both characterized by impaired bilirubin conjugation and hyperbilirubinemia. UGT1A1 polymorphisms also have major pharmacogenomic significance by influencing the metabolism of irinotecan and numerous other therapeutic agents, affecting drug efficacy and the risk of treatment-related toxicity. Consequently, UGT1A1 has become an important biomarker in clinical pharmacology, oncology, personalized medicine, and studies of liver disease.
NSJ Bioreagents' UGT1A1 Antibody / Drug Metabolism Enzyme Antibody supports investigations into glucuronidation, bilirubin metabolism, hepatic detoxification, xenobiotic metabolism, pharmacogenomics, liver physiology, and Phase II metabolic pathways. Reliable detection of UGT1A1 enables researchers to study one of the body's most important drug-metabolizing enzymes and its essential role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis.

Optimal dilution of the UGT1A1 Antibody / Drug Metabolism Enzyme Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human partial protein corresponding to amino acids E316-H533 was used as the immunogen for the UGT1A1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the UGT1A1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
