Glucuronidation is often involved in drug metabolism of substances such as drugs, pollutants, bilirubin, androgens, estrogens, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, fatty acid derivatives, retinoids, and bile acids. These linkages involve glycosidic bonds.
Glucuronic acid is a uronic acid that was first isolated from urine. It is found in many gums such as gum arabic, xanthan, and kombucha tea and is important for the metabolism of microorganisms, plants and animals.
Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase is a microsomal glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the glucuronic acid component of UDP-glucuronic acid to a small hydrophobic molecule. This is a glucuronidation reaction.
Uridine diphosphate glucose is a nucleotide sugar. It is involved in glycosyltransferase reactions in metabolism.
Heparosan-N-sulfate-glucuronate 5-epimerase is an enzyme with systematic name poly( -beta-D-glucuronosyl- -N-sulfo-alpha-D-glucosaminyl) glucurono-5-epimerase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
In enzymology, a chondroitin-glucuronate 5-epimerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
In enzymology, an UDP-arabinose 4-epimerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, also known as UDP-galactose 4-epimerase or GALE, is a homodimeric epimerase found in bacterial, fungal, plant, and mammalian cells. This enzyme performs the final step in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, catalyzing the reversible conversion of UDP-galactose to UDP-glucose. GALE tightly binds nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a co-factor required for catalytic activity.
In enzymology, an UDP-glucuronate 4-epimerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
In enzymology, an UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

In enzymology, a galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
In enzymology, a glucuronate-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
UDP-glucuronic acid decarboxylase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UXS1 gene.
David Sidney Feingold was an American biochemist.
UDP-glucuronic acid dehydrogenase (UDP-4-keto-hexauronic acid decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.305, UDP-GlcUA decarboxylase, ArnADH) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-glucuronate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside 2-O-glucuronosyltransferase is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-D-glucuronate:cyanidin-3-O-beta-D-glucoside 2-O-beta-D-glucuronosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
