EC 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].
