In enzymology, a glycyrrhizinate β-glucuronidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

glycyrrhizinate + H2O

\rightleftharpoons

1,2-β-D-glucuronosyl-D-glucuronate + glycyrrhetinate

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is glycyrrhizinate glucuronosylhydrolase. Other names in common use include glycyrrhizin β-hydrolase, glycyrrhizin hydrolase, and glycyrrhizinic acid hydrolase.
