Function

Isoform 1. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) that catalyzes phase II biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronic acid to increase the metabolite's water solubility, thereby facilitating excretion into either the urine or bile (PubMed:12181437, PubMed:15470161, PubMed:15472229, PubMed:18004212, PubMed:18052087, PubMed:18674515, PubMed:19545173). Essential for the elimination and detoxification of drugs, xenobiotics and endogenous compounds (PubMed:12181437, PubMed:18004212). Catalyzes the glucuronidation of endogenous estrogen hormones such as estradiol and estrone (PubMed:15472229). Also catalyzes the glucuronidation of the isoflavones genistein, daidzein, glycitein, formononetin, biochanin A and prunetin, which are phytoestrogens with anticancer and cardiovascular properties (PubMed:18052087, PubMed:19545173). Involved in the glucuronidation of the AGTR1 angiotensin receptor antagonist caderastan, a drug which can inhibit the effect of angiotensin II (PubMed:18674515). Involved in the biotransformation of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), the pharmacologically active metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan (PubMed:12181437, PubMed:20610558). Also metabolizes mycophenolate, an immunosuppressive agent (PubMed:15470161, PubMed:18004212). Isoform 2. Lacks UGT glucuronidation activity but acts as a negative regulator of isoform 1.

Activity summary

UGT1A9 also known as UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-9 mechanistically catalyzes the glucuronidation of a variety of substrates including pharmaceuticals endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. It belongs to the UGT1A family with an approximate mass of 56 kDa. UGT1A9 is mainly expressed in the liver but it also shows expression in other tissues like the kidney and the small intestine. The enzyme plays an important role in increasing the solubility of drugs aiding their excretion from the body.

Biological function summary

UGT1A9 is involved in phase II metabolism contributing to the detoxification processes within the liver. It functions by adding glucuronic acid to lipophilic molecules making them more water-soluble. This glucuronidation process is essential for the clearance of bilirubin steroids and various drugs. UGT1A9 exists as a part of a larger enzyme complex that includes other UGT1A family members. Together these enzymes regulate action and metabolism of diverse physiological substances.

Pathways

The UGT1A9 enzyme contributes significantly to the glucuronidation pathway and assists in the drug metabolism pathway. It shares functional relationships with other UGT1A enzymes like UGT1A1 particularly in the metabolism of bilirubin. In the drug metabolism pathway UGT1A9 interacts with cytochrome P450 enzymes playing an important role in the reduction of drug toxicity and facilitation of drug clearance.

Associated diseases and disorders

UGT1A9 has been linked to Gilbert's syndrome and drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Mutations or polymorphisms in the UGT1A9 gene can lead to impaired ability of the enzyme to glucuronidate bilirubin potentially contributing to hyperbilirubinemia in Gilbert's syndrome. UGT1A9 also interacts with proteins such as UGT1A1 in the context of drug-induced liver injury affecting the metabolism of certain therapeutic drugs leading to potential toxic buildup.
