beta-Glucosidase

Subscribe to New Research on beta-Glucosidase

An exocellulase with specificity for a variety of beta-D-glycoside substrates. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing residues in beta-D-glucosides with release of GLUCOSE.

Also Known As:

Amygdalase; Cellobiase; Emulsion beta-D-Glucosidase; Gentiobiase; Emulsion beta D Glucosidase; beta Glucosidase; beta-D-Glucosidase, Emulsion; Cellobiases; beta-D-Glucoside glucohydrolase

"
2.	Periodontitis 01/01/1992 - "The total activities (as units of enzyme activity per sample) of alpha-L-fucosidase, sialidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase and alpha-glucosidase were significantly greater in the periodontitis group. "
3.	Coronary Disease (Coronary Heart Disease) 01/01/1991 - "They recommend using the index of red blood cell fatty acid unsaturation as the characteristic, indicating liability to coronary disease; lysosomal beta-glucosidase activity for assessment of the severity of myocardial injury; simultaneous measurements of hydroxyproline and uric acid for estimation of the completeness of cicatrization and of the myocardial injury severity; and the fatty acid unsaturation index and hydroxyproline level for the assessment of the efficacy of rehabilitation measures."
4.	Cicatrix (Scar) 01/01/1991 - "They recommend using the index of red blood cell fatty acid unsaturation as the characteristic, indicating liability to coronary disease; lysosomal beta-glucosidase activity for assessment of the severity of myocardial injury; simultaneous measurements of hydroxyproline and uric acid for estimation of the completeness of cicatrization and of the myocardial injury severity; and the fatty acid unsaturation index and hydroxyproline level for the assessment of the efficacy of rehabilitation measures."
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 02/15/1980 - "The beta-glucosidase content of cancer tissues is low compared to that of normal liver and small intestine. " 01/27/2005 - "Glucose-GA, as positive control, showed anticancer activity with IC(50) of 70.2-380.9 nM in various cancer cells by beta-glucosidase activation inside of the tumor cells, which was confirmed by 3-fold inhibition using beta-glucosidase specific inhibitor [2,5-dihydroxymethy-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP)]. " 04/01/1981 - "These findings correspond with the results of an enzymological study which showed selective activation of FU-O-G by beta-glucosidase in tumor cells and indicated that the compound is a marked form of 5-FU." 01/01/1990 - "This investigation studied the effects of a shift from a mixed diet to a lactovegetarian diet on some cancer-associated bacterial enzymes in human feces (beta-glucuronidase, beta-glucosidase, and sulphatase). " 02/15/1980 - "Cancer tissues contain the enzyme rhodanese in amounts comparable to that of liver and kidney and hence, cannot be attacked selectively by cyanide release through beta-glucosidase action on amygdalin.
