-Glucuronidase, Recombinant (D-Glucuronide glucuronosohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.31)
300u
Molecular Biology Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice
Beta-Glucuronidase has been found in tissue extracts of mammals and other vertebrates, digestive juices of snails, molluscs, locusts, bacteria and plants. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-glucuronides and also the transfer of glucuronly radicals to acceptor alcohols. beta-Glucuronidase is a structural protein of the endoplasmic reticulum and its occurance in the lysozomes is due to changes in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Beta-Glucuronidase catalyzes the following reaction:
beta-Glucuronidase beta-D-Glucuronide + H2O ---> Alcohol + D-Glucuronate

Catalysis:
b-D-glucuronide + H2O --> D-glucuronate + ROH (R: alkyl group)

Activity:
1000u/ml

Specific Activity:
170u/mg protein (at 30°C and pH 7.1)
