UDPglucuronate-bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase

UDPglucuronate-bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase
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. SYN: UDPglucuronate-bilirubinglucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase.
