Gene:
UDP glycosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B28
Gene ID:
190628
Symbol:
UGT2B28
Species:
1000
Description:
UDPGTs are of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isozyme has glucuronidating capacity with steroid substrates such as 5-beta-androstane 3-alpha,17-beta- diol, estradiol, ADT, eugenol and bile acids. Only isoform 1 seems to be active.
