Preferred Label : glucuronic acid;
MeSH definition : A sugar acid formed by the oxidation of the C-6 carbon of GLUCOSE. In addition to
being a key intermediate metabolite of the uronic acid pathway, glucuronic acid also
plays a role in the detoxification of certain drugs and toxins by conjugating with
them to form GLUCURONIDES.;
