l Biological Information |
Biochem/Physiol Actions | β-glucuronidase (β-GIc) is an exoglycosidase that catalyzes the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. In humans it converts conjugated bilirubin into the unconjugated form, making bilirubin suitable for reabsorption. Morphine 3-β-D glucuronide was converted to morphine using ß-glucuronidase obtained from Patella vulgate. |
Application | New Technical Article Comparing Performance of Different Enzymes The enzyme from patella vulgata is reported to be more effective in hydrolyzing opioid-glucuronides than the Helix pomatia, bovine liver and E. coli enzymes β-Glucuronidase Type L-II has been shown to be a superior enzyme for the hydrolysis of drug-glucuronides from urine |
Unit Definition | One modified Fishman unit will liberate 1.0 μg of phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per hr at 37 °C at pH 3.8 (30 min assay). |
