EC 3.2.1.128     
Accepted name: glycyrrhizin hydrolase
Reaction: glycyrrhizin + H2O = β-D-glucuronosyl-(1→2)-D-glucuronate + glycyrrhetinate
Glossary: glycyrrhizin = glycyrrhizinate
glycyrrhetinate = 3-β-glycyrrhetinate = 3β-hydroxy-11-oxoolean-12-en-30-oate
Other name(s): glycyrrhizinate β-glucuronidase; glycyrrhizin β-hydrolase; glycyrrhizinic acid hydrolase
Systematic name: glycyrrhizinate glucuronosylhydrolase
Comments: The enzyme from Aspergillus niger is specific for the hydrolysis of the triterpenoid glycoside glycyrrhizin from roots of Glycyrrhiza sp.
