Glucuronidase, beta
beta-glucuronidase
This gene encodes a hydrolase that degrades glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin-4,6-sulfate. The enzyme forms a homotetramer that is localized to the lysosome. Mutations in this gene result in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. There are many pseudogenes of this locus in the human genome.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009] (from
NCBI)

Review
Bengaluru, India. In Xenobiotica, 2010
The absorption of baicalin involved several complexities: the restriction to two distant sites; the conversion of baicalin to baicalein; the possible role of transporter(s); and enhanced absorption due to breakdown of conjugates by beta-glucuronidase.
