Significant figures provided as they are presented in respective source material. Protein-QP and -IR refer to protein expression as determined by quantitative proteomics and immunoreactive methods respectively.

a

Developmental trajectories for UGT 1A1, 1A3, 1A6, 1A9, 2B4, 2B7, 2B10 and 2B15 activities described in reference by one-phase decay equations

b

Data also presented separately for males (M) and females (F)

c

Expression of BCRP, MRP2, BSEP, MATE1 not influenced by age

d

Ontogeny equation applicable up to an age cap due to average adult clearance not representing maximum clearance.

e

Represents collective expression of both microsomal and cytosolic protein

f

Upreti et al state “in vivo data used to verify, but not develop, in vivo ontogeny”

g

Refers to postmenstrual age

h

Ontogeny models from this were collectively developed from both in vitro expression and activity data but specific use of expression and/or activity data unclear for specific isoforms
