b-Glucosidase is a glucosidase enzyme which acts upon beta1->4 bonds linking two glucose or glucose-substituted molecules (i.e., the disaccharide cellobiose). b-Glucosidases are required by organisms (some fungi, bacteria, termites) for consumption of cellulose. Lysozyme is also a b-glucosidase and is present in tears to prevent bacterial infection of the eye. In humans, lower activity of a b-glucosidase isoform (lysosomal glucocerebrosidase) has been related to Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease. This b-Glucosidase Assay Kit is designed to measure b-glucosidase activity directly in biological samples without pretreatment. The improved method utilizes p-nitrophenyl-b-D-glucopyranoside that is hydrolyzed specifically by b-glucosidase into a yellow colored product (maximal absorbance at 405nm). The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the enzyme activity.
