1 The result of extreme unconjugated bilirubin in Ugt1(-/-) mice, comparable to the induced levels noted in patients with Crigler-Najjar type 1 disease, is fatal in neonatal Ugt1(-/-) mice within 2 weeks following birth. Bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A2 Mus musculus
2 Thus, the loss of UGT1A function in Ugt1(-/-) mice leads to a metabolic syndrome that can serve as a model to further investigate the toxicities associated with unconjugated bilirubin and the impact of this disease in humans. Bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A2 Mus musculus
