Full name:

UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B17

Synonyms:

BMND12, UDPGT2B17, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B17, C19-steroid-specific UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, C19-steroid-specific UDPGT, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B17, UDP glycosyltransferase 2 family, member B17, UDP-glucuronyltransferase, family 2, beta-17

Genomic Location:

Chr 4: 69085497-69116840

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase protein family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of glucuronic acid from uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid to a diverse array of substrates including steroid hormones and lipid-soluble drugs. This process, known as glucuronidation, is an intermediate step in the meta...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a member of the uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase protein family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of glucuronic acid from uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid to a diverse array of substrates including steroid hormones and lipid-soluble drugs. This process, known as glucuronidation, is an intermediate step in the metabolism of steroids. Copy number variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to osteoporosis.
