GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 1349499
Species: Homo sapiens
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: UGT1A6
Name: UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A6
Acc ID: CHEBI:17303
Term: morphine
Definition: A morphinane alkaloid that is a highly potent opiate analgesic psychoactive drug. Morphine acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain but has a high potential for addiction, with tolerance and both physical and psychological dependence developing rapidly.
