UGT2B15

UGT2B15 is an enzyme in the body that helps process and eliminate certain substances, especially medications and hormones like testosterone, by attaching a molecule called glucuronic acid. This process, called glucuronidation, makes these substances more water-soluble, allowing the body to excrete them more easily through urine. Variations in the UGT2B15 gene can affect how quickly or effectively this enzyme works, influencing drug response and hormone levels. This enzyme plays a key role in drug metabolism, hormone regulation, and detoxification processes in the liver.
