β-Glucuronidase Type H-2 from Helix pomatia is a crude solution of enzymes derived from the digestive juices of the Roman snail. β-glucuronidases derived from mollusks often contain sulfatase activity. Both activities are useful in the hydrolysis of metabolites for toxicology and biomarker analysis. For a broader look at our β-Glucuronidase product line and their uses see our page about Drug Metabolite Analysis
Application:
Sample preparation for LC/MS through digestion of glucuronide conjugated compounds for biomarker and toxicology research.
Removal of glucuronide conjugates such as for the preparation of Baicalein.-
