UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT)

Function

• phase 2 enzyme catalyzing biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronate to increase water solubility & enhance excretion
• role in conjugation & subsequent elimination of endogenous compounds & potentially toxic xenobiotics (including pharmaceuticals)

More general terms

• hexosyltransferase
