| Official gene symbol | | UGT2B17 |
| Full name | | UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B17 |
| Aliases | | ,UDPGT2B17, |
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase protein family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of glucuronic acid from uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid to a diverse array of substrates including steroid hormones and lipid-soluble drugs. This process, known as glucuronidation, is an intermediate step in the metabolism of steroids. Copy number variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to osteoporosis. |
