Apparent KM and enzyme efficiency values for certain food-derived substrates (e.g., naringenin and eugenol) for expressed UGT2B15 were similar to those determined for endobiotic substrates, suggesting that some naturally occurring substances are good substrates for this enzyme and that glucuronidation of endogenous compounds could be affected by xenobiotics derived from dietary sources.

Drug Metab Dispos. 2002 Nov;30(11):1257-65.

Similar results were obtained for other substrates, including eugenol, naringenin, 4-methylumbelliferone, and androstane-3alpha-diol.

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B17 is one of the most important conjugating enzymes in androgen metabolism and shares more than 95% homology with UGT2B15.
The higher glucuronidation activity was measured with alizarin (125 pmol x min (-1) x mg protein (-1)), whereas UGT2B17 conjugated eugenol, scopoletin, and galangin with glucuronidation rates of 102.5, 102, and 58 pmol x min (-1) x mg protein (-1), respectively.

UGT2B17 is 95% identical with UGT2B15 and 91% identical with UGT2B8.
The major substrates are eugenol > 4-methylumbelliferone > dihydrotestosterone > androstane-3alpha, 17beta-diol (3alpha-diol) > testosterone > androsterone (ADT).
