Sign in to save

Also known as GT, UDP glucuronic acid transferase, uridine diphosphoglucuronyltransferase, UDP glucuronosyltransferase, UDPGA-glucuronyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase, UDP glucuronyltransferase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase

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