Ugt1a1 - UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1

Predicted to enable several functions, including glucuronosyltransferase activity; protein dimerization activity; and retinoic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including biphenyl catabolic process; cellular glucuronidation; and negative regulation of cellular glucuronidation. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bilirubin metabolic disorder (multiple); cholecystolithiasis; cholelithiasis; female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human UGT1A1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
