UDPglucuronate-bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase

UDPglu·cu·ro·nate-bil·i·ru·bin glu·cu·ron·o·syl·trans·fer·ase

(glū-kyū'rō-nāt-bil'i-rū'bin glū-kyū'ron-ō-sil-trans'fĕr-ās), Hepatic transferases that catalyze the transfer of the glucuronic moiety of UDP-glucuronic acid to bilirubin or bilirubin glucuronide, thus producing UDP and either bilirubin-glucoronoside or bilirubin bisglucuronoside, respectively; these bile conjugates are then secreted into the bile. Synonym(s): UDPglucuronate-bilirubinglucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase
