General annotation (Comments)

Function	UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform has specificity for phenols.
Catalytic activity	UDP-glucuronate + acceptor = UDP + acceptor beta-D-glucuronoside.
Subcellular location	Microsome. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein Potential.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in skin, kidney and liver. Ref.1
Polymorphism	Polymorphisms in the UGT1A6 gene define four common haplotypes: UGT1A6*1, UGT1A6*2, UGT1A6*3 and UGT1A6*4. Liver tissue samples that were homozygous for UGT1A6*2 exhibited a high rate of glucuronidation relative to tissues with other genotypes. Biochemical kinetic studies indicate that the UGT1A6*2 allozyme, expressed homozygously, had almost two-fold greater activity toward p-nitrophenol than UGT1A6*1 and when expressed heterozygously (UGT1A6*1/*2) it is associated with low enzyme activity. Common genetic variation in UGT1A6 confers functionally significant differences in biochemical phenotype. This genetic variation might impact clinical efficacy or toxicity of drugs metabolized by UGT1A6.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family.
