Description

General description

Glucuronic acid is one of the component of xylan backbone, a hemicellulose present in plant cell wall.

Application

D-Glucuronic acid has been used:

• in in vitro human digestion model
• as a fibrous cellulose powder, to test the feeding preference among experimental termites
• as a standard to quantify glucuronic acid in urine sample

Biochem/physiol Actions

In humans, glucuronic acid conjugation with steroidal compounds and drugs is an important step in phase II metabolic reactions. This influences the biotransformation process of the compound.
