MedKoo Cat#: 145007 | Name: Bilirubin glucuronide

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Bilirubin glucuronide is a water-soluble compound that's produced in the liver and plays a key role in removing bilirubin from the body. The enzyme UGT1A1 conjugates bilirubin with glucuronic acid in the liver to form bilirubin glucuronide. Bilirubin glucuronide is the main form of bilirubin that's excreted in bile. In the bile, it's transported by MRP2, and in the blood, it's transported by MRP3. Elevated levels of bilirubin glucuronide in the blood can indicate liver problems, hepatitis, gallstones, blood infections, or sickle cell anemia. Elevated serum bilirubin glucuronides can be a biomarker of hepatotoxicity or an early indication of drug-drug interactions. Bilirubin is a toxic waste product created when heme degrades. The human body produces about 250–400 mg of bilirubin each day.
