OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, an enzyme of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic molecules, such as steroids, bilirubin, hormones, and drugs, into water-soluble, excretable metabolites. This gene is part of a complex locus that encodes several UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. The locus includes thirteen unique alternate first exons followed by four common exons. Four of the alternate first exons are considered pseudogenes. Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be spliced to the four common exons, resulting in nine proteins with different N-termini and identical C-termini. Each first exon encodes the substrate binding site, and is regulated by its own promoter. The enzyme encoded by this gene has moderate glucuronidase activity with phenols.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads UGT1A7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against UGT1A7 could matter depends on whether native UGT1A7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

UGT1A7 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label UGT1A7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
