Beta glucuronidase

Active

Description

Glucuronidases are glycoside hydrolases that cleave glucuronic acid glycosides (glucuronides). Human glucuronidase is a lysosomal glycosidase, and hydrolyzes the glucuronide groups from proteins. Glucuronidase exhibits both endo-glycosidase and exo-glycosidase activities, meaning that it can cleave monosaccharides from the middle of a chain or from the end. Glycosylation is an interesting phenomenon that occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (where carbohydrates are added to arginine groups via a process called N-linked glycosylation) and in the Golgi apparatus (where carbohydrates are added to serinethreonine groups via a process called O-linked glycosylation). This process is required for the appropriate folding of most proteins. Errors in glycosylation prevent many proteins from functioning properly. Glucuronidase fits well into the lysosome's role as a recycling center for the cell. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
