    Summary
    Enables glucuronosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including 4-chlorobiphenyl metabolic process; cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis B. Orthologous to human UGT1A6 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A6).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
