β-Glucuronidase (gusA) from Bacillis Subtilis

gusA (also called uidA[1]) encodes β-Glucuronidase, an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-D-glucuronides.

A form of this protein with added TEV and poly-HIS tags can be found here.

Usage and Biology

β-Glucuronidase is used as a fusion protein marker in higher plants, due to them lacking intrinsic β-Glucuronidase activity[2]. Generally it can be used as reporter enzyme with detection by biochemical activity assays, immunological assays or by histochemical staining of tissue sections or cells[3]. Sequence and Features
