UGT1A3

UGT1A3 in this pathway plays a significant role in metabolic section, working upon the sensing section. Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9 -THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, is subject to cytochrome P450 oxidation and subsequent UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UGT)-dependent glucuronidation. In our system, Δ-9-ThC is hydroxylated by CYP2C9 (BBa_K4117002) and CYP2C19 (BBa_K4117022), remaining psychoactive. The major product of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 metabolism, 11-OH-Δ-9-THC, was further oxidized to THC-COOH. Then UGT1A3, which catalyzes the glucuronidation of the former substrate, increases the metabolite's water solubility, thereby facilitating excretion into the urine.
