Glucuronosyltransferase

Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, UDPGT or UGT) is a microsomal glycosyltransferase (EC2.4.1.17) that catalyzes the transfer of the glucuronic acid component of UDP-glucuronic acid to a small hydrophobic molecule. This is a glucuronidation reaction.

Alternative names:

• glucuronyltransferase
• UDP-glucuronyl transferase
• UDP-GT
