β-glucuronidase /β-glu·cu·ron·i·dase/ (gloo″ku-ron´ĭ-dās) an enzyme that attacks terminal glycosidic linkages in natural and synthetic glucuronides and that has been implicated in estrogen metabolism and cell division; it occurs in the spleen, liver, and endocrine glands; deficiency results in Sly's syndrome.

beta-glucuronidase

An enzyme the catalyzes the hydrolysis of various proteoglycans.

β-glucuronidase

an enzyme which attacks glycosidic linkages in natural and synthetic glucuronides; occurs in the spleen, liver and endocrine glands.

g. deficiency

is the basis for mucopolysaccharidosis type VII in humans, dogs and inbred mice.
