Western blot analyses using a polyclonal antibody raised against human UGT2B17 protein also demonstrated expression of homologous UGT2B proteins in monkey tissues. cDNA libraries were constructed from monkey liver and prostate mRNA and a novel UGT2B cDNA, UGT2B9, was isolated from both libraries.
The activity of UGT2B9 was tested with over 60 compounds and was demonstrated to be active on C18, C19, and C21 steroids, bile acids, and several xenobiotics including eugenol, 1-naphthol, and p-nitrophenol.

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).
