Descriptor ácido glucurónico
Entry term(s) glucuronato
Scope note: Azúcar ácido formado por la oxidación del carbono 6 de la GLUCOSA. Además de ser un metabolito intermediario clave de la vía del ácido urónico, el ácido glucurónico también interviene en la detoxificación de ciertos fármacos y toxinas al conjugarse con los mismos formando GLUCURÓNIDOS.
