Abstract

UGT,[2][1] a family of Phase II detoxification enzymes, catalyzes the transfer of the glucuronyl group from uridine diphosphogluronic acid to manysubstrates, including steroid hormones [(1)][2] . Glucuronidation, an irreversible step in the pathway of steroid metabolism, converts steroids into polar
