Essential for the elimination and detoxification of drugs, xenobiotics and endogenous compounds (PubMed:11300766). Catalyzes the glucuronidation of endogenous steroid hormones such as androgens (androsterone, 3alpha-androstanediol) and estrogens (estradiol, estrone) (PubMed:11300766). Catalyzes the glucuronidation of bile acid substrates, which are natural detergents for dietary lipids absorption (PubMed:11300766). Displays glucuronidation activity toward the phenolic compounds eugenol (PubMed:11300766). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11300766}.
