| Function |
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Isoform 2 lacks transferase activity but acts as a negative regulator of isoform 1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18674515}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Microsome. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in liver, kidney, colon and small intestine. Isoform 1 but not isoform 2 is expressed in esophagus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18004212}.
