Literature associating UGT2A2 and Gilbert syndrome
UGT2A2 [ENSP00000475028]
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2A1; UDP-glucuronosyltransferases catalyze phase II biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronic acid to increase water solubility and enhance excretion. They are of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Active on odorants and seems to be involved in olfaction; it could help clear lipophilic odorant molecules from the sensory epithelium; Belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family.
