Properties
Description
β-Glucuronidase Escherichia coli, a type of glucuronidase, is responsible for hydrolyzing β-D-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing end of mucopolysaccharides.
Molecular Weight
82.6 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of β-D-Glucuronosidase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µg of phenolphthalein per hour from phenolphthalein-β-D-glucuronide (0.5 mM) in sodium phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 and 37°C.
Applications
β-Glucuronidase from Escherichia coli can be used for liver detoxification and estrogen metabolism research.
