Catalysis of the transfer of a glucosyl group from UDP-glucose to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a glycosyl group from a UDP-sugar to a small hydrophobic molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a glucosyl group to an acceptor molecule, typically another carbohydrate or a lipid. Catalysis of the reaction: UDP-glucose + (1,4)-alpha-D-glucosyl(n) = UDP + (1,4)-alpha-D-glucosyl(n+1).
