3.2.1.167

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].
