Ugt1a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glucuronosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bilirubin conjugation; hepatic stellate cell activation; and protein complex oligomerization. Located in plasma membrane. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; nervous system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bilirubin metabolic disorder (multiple); cholecystolithiasis; cholelithiasis; female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human UGT1A1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ugt1a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
