Potential Urinary Biomarker
Testosterone glucuronide normalized by androsterone glucuronide can be used as a biomarker for urinary UGT2B17. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) is an androgen-metabolizing and drug-metabolizing enzyme. Complications with high variability in UGT2B17 expression is associated with increased risk of prostate cancer, and other testosterone related outcomes such as lower BMI, and increase of bone mineral density. Testosterone glucuronide is helpful in assessing drug interactions and developing clinical studies to unfold other UGT2B17 related diseases.
