Other Names | UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B17, UDPGT 2B17, C19-steroid-specific UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, C19-steroid-specific UDPGT, UGT2B17 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6505c was selected from the Center region of human UDB17. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | UGT2B17 (HGNC:12547) |
---|---|
Function | UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) that catalyzes phase II biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronic acid to increase the metabolite's water solubility, thereby facilitating excretion into either the urine or bile (PubMed:8798464, PubMed:16595710, PubMed:18719240, PubMed:19022937, PubMed:23288867). Catalyzes the glucuronidation of endogenous steroid hormones such as androgens (epitestosterone, androsterone) and estrogens (estradiol, epiestradiol) (PubMed:8798464, PubMed:16595710, PubMed:18719240, PubMed:19022937, PubMed:23288867). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in various tissues including the liver, kidney, testis, uterus, placenta, mammary gland, adrenal gland, skin and prostate. |

Background
UGT2B17 belongs to the family of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs; EC 2.4.1.17), enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glucuronic acid from uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid to a variety of substrates, including steroid hormones.
