UGT1A1

Gastrointestinal & Hepatic System · Phase I & Phase II Xenobiotic Detoxification

How does UGT1A1 help the body clear bilirubin?

UGT1A1 modifies bilirubin by attaching glucuronic acid, making it easier for the body to eliminate. Reduced enzyme function can affect bilirubin handling, but the exact variant and blood-test pattern determine its significance.

Common Gene Name
UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1
