| Function | UDP-glucuronosyltransferases catalyze phase II biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronic acid to increase water solubility and enhance excretion. They are of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in kidney, while it is expressed at low levels in liver. Not detected in other tissues examined. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17050650}. |
