NCIt synonyms : Uridine Phosphate Glycosyltransferase Family 1 Member A Locus; UGT1; UDP Glucuronosyltransferase 1 Family, Polypeptide A Complex Locus; UGT1A; UDP Glucuronosyltransferase Family 1 Member A Complex Locus; UDP Glucuronosyltransferase 1 Family, Polypeptide A Cluster; UDP Glycosyltransferase 1 Family, Polypeptide A Cluster; UGT; GNT1;
NCIt definition : Human UGT1A gene locus is located in the vicinity of 2q37 and is approximately 188
kb in length. This locus includes nine protein-encoding genes and four pseudogenes.
The protein-encoding genes are involved in glucuronidation of toxins, drugs and xenobiotics.;
NCIt note : The nine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase protein-encoding transcripts share four common
exons resulting in proteins comprised of different N-termini and identical C-termini.
