UGT2B7

UGT2B7 is an enzyme in the body that helps process and eliminate certain drugs and hormones by attaching a sugar molecule to them—a process called conjugation. This modification makes these substances more water-soluble, allowing the body to excrete them more easily through urine or bile. UGT2B7 plays a key role in managing how our body handles medications like opioids and steroids, influencing their effectiveness and how long they stay active. Variations in the activity of this enzyme can affect individual responses to drugs and the levels of hormones in the body.
