Summary
The isolation and partial purification of a soluble estriol-16α-glueuronyltransferase from human liver is described. The partially purified enzyme appears to be very unstable. Kinetic studies revealed a pH optimum of 8.0 in Tris-HCl buffer, a K m of 0.96 × 10-5 M for estriol and K m of 1.43 × 10-5 M for UDP-glueuronic acid. Estrone, estradiol and testosterone are not conjugated by the enzyme.
