It degrades glucuronate-containing glycosaminoglycan. β-glucuronidase, obtained from abalone has the ability to hydrolyze samples, that has high analyte concentrations. Deficiency of β-glucuronidase results in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPSVII), which leads to lysosomal storage in the brain._x000D_ Unit Definition_x000D_ One Sigma or modified Fishman unit will liberate 1.0 μg of phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per hr at 37 °C at pH 3.8 (30 min assay)._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied as a lyophilized powder containing Trizma® and L-arginine_x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Trizma is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich Co.
