UGT2B15 - UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B15

UGT2B15 (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B15) is an enzyme belonging to the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family, and plays a role in the phase II metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds (1). UGT2B15 is primarily involved in the process of glucuronidation, a biochemical reaction where glucuronic acid is transferred to lipophilic molecules, making them more water-soluble and easier to excrete from the body.

UGT2B15 is responsible for the glucuronidation of a wide range of compounds, including bisphenol A (BPA), steroid hormones (like androgens), and pharmaceuticals (2). By conjugating these substances with glucuronic acid, UGT2B15 facilitates their removal via urine or bile, reducing their biological activity and toxicity (3) (4).

By incorporating UGT2B15 into the detoxification system BBa_K5477046, the goal is to metabolize BPA through glucuronidation. UGT2B15 was integrated in the following composites together with UDPD: BBa_K5477035 and BBa_K5477040.
