General description
β-Glucuronidase Type H-2 from Helix pomatia is a crude solution of enzymes derived from the Roman snail. Many β-glucuronidases derived from mollusks also contain sulfatase activity.
Application
β-Glucuronidase from Helix pomatia has been used:
- in the enzymatic treatment of urine samples for liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis
- in the quercetin extraction procedure from pig or rat tissues for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis
- in the enzymatic deconjugation step in urine and plasma sample preparation for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS)
β-glucuronidase was used to hydrolyze conjugated glucuronide and sulfate metabolites.

Biochem/physiol Actions
β-glucuronidase (β-GIc) is an exoglycosidase that catalyzes the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. In humans it converts conjugated bilirubin into the unconjugated form, making bilirubin suitable for reabsorption.
Used for the hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates in urinary metabolite analysis
Analysis Note
Many β-glucuronidases derived from mollusks also contain sulfatase activity.

Isoprostanes are a group of prostaglandin-like compounds that are derived in vivo primarily by free radical-mediated peroxidation of arachidonic acid within phospholipids. The resulting isoprostane moieties are rapidly hydrolyzed, metabolized, and excreted. It is now well recognized that isoprostane levels
