Biochem/physiol Actions

Used for the hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates in urinary metabolite analysis

Quality

Many β-glucuronidases derived from mollusks also contain sulfatase activity.

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).

Sulfatase Unit Definition: One unit of sulfatase will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole p-nitrocatechol sulfate per hr at pH 5.0 at 37 °C.
