A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of µgT1 A1 antibody, Alternative Names: UGT1A1 control peptide, µgT1A1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-UGT1A1 Blocking Peptide, Udp Glucuronosyltransferase 1 Family Polypeptide A1 Blocking Peptide, GNT1 Blocking Peptide, HUG-BR1 Blocking Peptide, UDPGT Blocking Peptide, µgT1 Blocking Peptide, µgT1A Blocking Peptide, µgT1A1, µgTA-1, µgTA 1, µgTA-1 Blocking Peptide, µgTA 1 Blocking Peptide
UGT1A1 is a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, an enzyme of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic molecules, such as steroids, bilirubin, hormones, and drugs, into water-soluble, excretable metabolites. The preferred substrate of this enzyme is bilirubin, although it also has moderate activity with simple phenols, flavones, and C18 steroids.
