UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) genes, which belong to an ancient gene family and play very important roles in all organisms, encode extracellularly secreted proteins that are involved in the transfer of glycosyl residues from activated nucleotide sugars to acceptor hydrophobic molecules (aglycone...
