摘要: Crigler-Najjar (CN) disease is caused by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme, bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (B-UGT). We have found two CN type II patients, who were homozygous for leucine to arginine transition at position 15 B-UGT1. This mutation expected disrupt hydrophobic core signal peptide Wild and mutant B-UGT cDNAs transfected in COS cells. Mutant wild mRNA formed equal amounts. The protein was expressed with 0.5% efficiency, as compared type. mRNAs translated vitro. transferase processed microsomes, no processing observed.
