  1. ND, not detected.
  2. The listed CYP and UGT proteins were selected for cloning based on the first proteomics motivated identification of P450 and UGT sequences (Supplementary Data 1 and 2), and on pyrosequencing data14. The concentrations of the proteins identified with at least three peptides in an LC-MS/MS data-based search of the selected sequences were quantified from the LC-MS/MS data as described in the Methods section and detailed in Supplementary Data 3. Average intensity per μg total protein.
  3. *Not quantified, detected with two peptides.
  4. †Not quantified, detected with one peptide.
