Gene Symbol:

UGT2B28 Homo sapiens

Full name:

UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B28

Synonyms:

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B28, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B28, UDP glycosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B28, UDPGT 2B28

Genomic Location:

Chr 4: 70180806-70195357

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. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. While both isoforms are targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum, only the longer isoform appears to be active.
