In biochemistry, glucuronosyltransferase, also called UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, is "a family of enzymes accepting a wide range of substrates, including phenols, alcohols, amines, and fatty acids. They function as drug-metabolizing enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of UDPglucuronic acid to a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds."[1]
Mutation in the UDP-glycuronosyltransferase gene cause Gilbert Syndrome[2] and Crigler-Najjar Syndrome types I[3] and II[4].
