Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Located in 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).
