Baicalein 7-O-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.253, UBGAT) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-D-glucuronate:5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone 7-O-glucuronosyltransferase .[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-D-glucuronate + baicalein \rightleftharpoons UDP + baicalin

The enzyme is specific for UDP-D-glucuronate as a sugar donor.
