Accepted name: |
baicalin-β-D-glucuronidase |
Reaction: |
baicalin + H2O = baicalein + D-glucuronate |
Glossary: |
baicalin = 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone-7-O-β-D-glucuronate = 5,6-dihydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-7-yl β-D-glucupyranosiduronic acid
baicalein = 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone = 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one
wogonin = 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone = 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one
oroxylin = 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone = 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one |
Other name(s): |
baicalinase |
Systematic name: |
5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone-7-O-β-D-glucupyranosiduronate glucuronosylhydrolase |
Comments: |
The enzyme also hydrolyses wogonin 7-O-β-D-glucuronide and oroxylin 7-O-β-D-glucuronide with lower efficiency [4]. Neglegible activity with p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucuronide [2]. |
