Used as a biochemical reagent in research to study glucuronidation processes, which are crucial for drug metabolism and detoxification in the liver. It serves as a standard or reference compound in analytical methods like HPLC and mass spectrometry to quantify glucuronide metabolites in biological samples. Applied in enzymatic assays to investigate the activity of β-glucuronidase enzymes, which play a role in breaking down glucuronide conjugates. Also utilized in the development of diagnostic tools for detecting enzyme deficiencies or abnormalities in metabolic pathways.
