UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)

UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are enzymes found mainly in the liver that help your body process and eliminate drugs, toxins, and waste products. They work by attaching a molecule called glucuronic acid to these substances, making them more water-soluble. This chemical modification allows your body to excrete them more easily through urine or bile. UGTs are vital for detoxification, drug metabolism, and clearing various chemicals from your system, maintaining overall health and helping prevent harmful buildup of substances.
