Medical Definition of UDPglucuronate-bilirubinglucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase
1. Hepatic transferases that catalyze the transfer of the glucuronic moiety of UDP-glucuronic acid to bilirubin or bilirubin glucuronide, thus producing UDP and either bilirubin-glucoronoside or bilirubin bisglucuronoside, respectively; these bile conjugates are then secreted into the bile. Synonym: UDPglucuronate-bilirubinglucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000)
