Catalysis of the transfer of a glucosyl group from UDP-glucose to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: nucleoside-disphosphate-glucose + ((1,4)-beta-D-glucosyl)(n) = nucleoside-disphosphate + ((1,4)-beta-D-glucosyl)(n+1). 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)-beta-D-glucosyl)(n) = UDP + ((1,4)-beta-D-glucosyl)(n+1).
