Rat liver recombinant BR1UGT1.1 was found to have significant activity toward retinoid substrates. UGT1.1 glucuronidation activity was 91 +/- 18 pmol/mg x min for atRA and 113 +/- 19 pmol/mg x min for 5,6-epoxy-atRA. The apparent K(M) and V(max) of atRA acid glucuronidation by UGT1.1 were 59.1 +/- 5.4 microM and 158 +/- 43 pmol/mg x min, respectively. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis of UGT1.1-transfected HK293 membrane proteins photolabeled with [11,12-3H]atRA revealed a protein of approximately 56 kDa that was labeled by [3H]atRA, detected by anti-pNP UGT antibody and not present in membranes from nontransfected HK293 cells. Liver microsomes from Gunn rats, which lack UGT1.1, had significant activity toward atRA (111 +/- 28 pmol/mg x min).
