Function

UDPGTs are of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isozyme displays activity toward several classes of xenobiotic substrates, including simple phenolic compounds, 7-hydroxylated coumarins, flavonoids, anthraquinones, and certain drugs and their hydroxylated metabolites. It also catalyzes the glucuronidation of endogenous estrogens and androgens.

Subcellular Localization

Microsome membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.

Disease Associations
