Beta-glucuronidase

UniProtKB accession:  Q8XP19

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Displays beta-glucuronidase activity with the artificial substrate p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucuronide (PNPG). Is likely capable of scavenging glucuronate from a range of chemically distinct xenobiotic and endobiotic glucuronides present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, to be able to utilize these diverse sources of carbon (PubMed:26364932). As part of the GI microbiome, this enzyme is able to reactivate glucuronide drug conjugates, such reactivated compounds can significantly damage the GI tract (PubMed:32170007).
