Gene information for UGT2B7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7364
Official gene symbolUGT2B7
Full nameUDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B7
Aliases,UDPGT 2B9,UDPGT2B7,UDPGTH2,UGT2B9,
Gene summaryThe UGTs (EC 2.4.1.17) serve a major role in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. UGT2B7 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. Its subcellular location is the microsome.[supplied by OMIM]
