Application

The enzyme from patella vulgata is reported to be more effective in hydrolyzing opioid-glucuronides than the Helix pomatia, bovine liver and E. coli enzymes

Unit Definition

Sulfatase Unit Definition: One unit of sulfatase will hydrolyze 1.0 µmole p-nitrocatechol sulfate per hr at pH 5.0 at 37 °C.

One Sigma or modified Fishman unit will liberate 1.0 µg of phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per hr at 37 °C at pH 3.8 (30 min assay).
