UDP-glucuronosyltransferase-1C (UDPGT-1C, UGT1A3)

Function

• UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation & subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics & endogenous compounds

UDP-glucuronate + acceptor
           <-->
UDP + acceptor beta-D-glucuronoside

Structure

belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family

Compartment

microsome, endoplasmic reticulum

Alternative splicing

• named isoforms=1
• a number of isoforms are produced
• different isozymes have a different N-terminal domain & a common C-terminal domain of 245 residues

More general terms

• UDP-glucuronosyltransferase-1 (UDPGT-1)
