UOX
Description
The UOX (urate oxidase (pseudogene)) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 1.
UOX is a gene that codes for a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzyme. This enzyme is involved in the detoxification of various compounds, including steroids, bilirubin, and drugs. It catalyzes the transfer of glucuronic acid from UDP-glucuronic acid to a variety of substrates, making them more soluble and easier to excrete.
UOX, also known as UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, are a family of enzymes involved in the detoxification of various compounds, including steroids, bilirubin, and drugs. These enzymes catalyze the transfer of glucuronic acid from UDP-glucuronic acid to a variety of substrates, making them more soluble and easier to excrete.
UOX is also known as UOXP, URICASE.
