Application

β-glucuronidase is used as a reporter gene in GUS assays to monitor gene expression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-glucuronidase catalyzes the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. In humans it converts conjugated bilirubin into the unconjugated form, making bilirubin suitable for reabsorption.

Unit Definition

One Sigma or modified Fishman unit will liberate 1.0 μg of phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per hr at 37 °C at pH 5.0 (30 min assay).

Enzymatic Assay of ß-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) from Helix Pomatia and Bovine Liver

Enzymatic Assay of ß-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) from Helix Pomatia and Bovine Liver

Using UHPLC/MS (TOF) for Detection of Drugs and Metabolites in Urine Following Optimized Enzymatic Hydrolysis Conditions

To optimize hydrolysis using β-glucuronidase, factors such as incubation time, temperature, hydrolysis pH, enzyme source, and enzyme concentration must be evaluated for each glucuronide metabolite to be analyzed.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
