  • Title: The transfer of glucose to steroids by chimpanzee liver microsomes.
    Author: Labow RS, Williamson DG, Layne DS, Collins DC.
    Journal: Can J Biochem; 1975 Sep; 53(9):1028-30. PubMed ID: 1182588.
    Abstract:
    Microsomal preparations from chimpanzee liver can transfer glucose from UDPglucose to the 17alpha-hydroxyl group of 17alpha-estradiol and of 17alpha-estradiol-3-glucuronide. A phenolic glucoside of estrone, but not of either 17alpha- or 17beta-estradiol is also formed. No formation of glucosides of p-nitrophenol, or of diethylstilbestrol was demonstrated. The specificity of glucosyl transfer in the chimpanzee is not identical to that in either the human, the rabbit, or the sheep.
