alpha-D-glucosiduronate glucuronohydrolase

an alpha-D-glucuronoside + H2O = an alcohol + D-glucuronate [RN:R01480]

R01480
Reaction

alpha-D-glucuronoside [CPD:C06370];
H2O [CPD:C00001]

Considerable differences in the specificities of the enzymes from different fungi for alpha-D-glucosiduronates have been reported. Activity is also found in the snail.
