Human UGT2B4
Human UGT2B4 is a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. UGT2B4 catalyzes the glucuronidation of bile acids, Carvedilol (HY-B0006) and 6-hydroxylated bile acids to form glucuronide derivatives. UGT2B4 participates in the inactivation of endogenous and exogenous substances, including catechol estrogens, C19 steroids, phenols and monoterpenoids. Human UGT2B4 can be used in the research of hypertension, angina pectoris, chronic heart failure and intrahepatic cholestasis.

UGT2B4 |
Human UGT2B4 (expressed in insect cell microsomes) catalyzes the formation of carvedilol (HY-B0006) glucuronides G1 and G2, with a higher catalytic efficiency for G1 production (Vmax/Km = 0.33 μl/min/mg protein) than for G2 production (Vmax/Km = 0.12 μl/min/mg protein)[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
