Encodes a protein with glucosyltransferase activity with high sequence homology to UGT1 (AT1G05560). It belongs to an UGT subfamily that binds UDP-glucose but not UDP-glucuronate, UDP-galactose, or UDP-rhamnose as the glycosyl donor. UGT2 was shown to be able to use abscisic acid as glycosylation substrate in the presence of UDP-glucose.
