Biomarker Reference · β-Gluc
Beta-Glucuronidase (β-Gluc) is a clinical biomarker used in gastrointestinal assessment. Beta-glucuronidase is a bacterial enzyme that cleaves glucuronide conjugates in the intestinal lumen, reversing phase-II hepatic detoxification. It is measured in 2 laboratory tests on BiomarkersLabs.com.
Beta-glucuronidase is a bacterial enzyme that cleaves glucuronide conjugates in the intestinal lumen, reversing phase-II hepatic detoxification. Deconjugated metabolites, including oestrogens and xenobiotics, become available for reabsorption, which can increase systemic exposure.
Elevated beta-glucuronidase activity is interpreted as a marker of a microbial metabolic pattern that can increase deconjugation and reabsorption of compounds such as oestrogens and certain toxins. It is used in functional assessment of microbiome metabolic function. # REVIEWER FLAG: Clinical interpretation is functional-medicine-oriented — confirm positioning.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform. Interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.
