UGT2B7 - UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B7 Gene
Also Known as UGT2B9; UDPGTH2; UDPGT2B7; UDPGTh-2; UDPGT 2B7; UDPGT 2B9
Species: Homo sapiens
About UGT2B7
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 1241 orthologues and 21 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 335.9), liver (RPKM 240.7) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) family. UGTs serve a major role in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This protein is localized in the microsome membrane, and has unique specificity for 3,4-catechol estrogens and estriol, suggesting that it may play an important role in regulating the level and activity of these potent estrogen metabolites. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
