Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. Members of this protein family play a role in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. The encoded enzyme is expressed in the olfactory neuroepithelium, which lines the posterior nasal cavity and is exposed to a wide range of odorants and airborne toxic compounds. Hence, this protein has been suggested to be involved in clearing lipophilic odorant molecules from the sensory epithelium. This gene shares exon structure with the UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2A1 family member, which encodes N-terminally distinct isoforms. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with the loss of taste and smell that is reported by some individuals during SARS-CoV-2 infection. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

The UGT2A1/UGT2A2 locus is associated with COVID-19-related loss of smell or taste.
Title: The UGT2A1/UGT2A2 locus is associated with COVID-19-related loss of smell or taste.
Results show that UGT2A2 not only shares exons 2-6 with UGT2A1, it also shares with it a similar tissue expression pattern; both UGTs are primarily expressed in nasal epithelium. The 3rd member of UGT2A subfamily, UGT2A3 exhibited a different tissue expression pattern, found mainly in liver and small intestine.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2, also known as UGT2A2deltaexon3) lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the central coding region, compared to variant 1, resulting in an isoform (UGT2A2_i2) that is shorter than isoform UGT2A2_i1.
