DAY A, CANADA F J, DIAZ J C, KROON P A, MCLAUCHLAN R, FAULDS C B, PLUMB G W, MORGAN M R A and WILLIAMSON G (2000) Dietary flavonoid and isoflavone glycosides are hydrolyzed by the lactase site of lactase phlorizin hydrolase. FEES Lett 468, 166-70. 

Potential enzymes involved in anthocyanin metabolism — The lactase phlorizin hydrolase (LPH EC 3.2.1.108) present only in the small intestine on the outside of the brush border membrane and the cytosolic P-glucosidase (CBG EC 3.2.1.1) found in many tissues, particularly in liver, can catalyze the deglycosylation (or hydrolysis) of polyphenols. LPH may play a major role in polyphenol metabolism...

Figure 2.3 Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of flavonoids. Glucuronidation, methyla-tion, and sulfation are catalyzed by UDP-glucuronyltransferase, catechol-O-methyltrasferase, and sulfotransferase, respectively. Abbreviation LPH, lactase phlorizin hydrolase.

Lactase-specific activity/lactase phlorizin hydrolase... 

Lactase (lactase phlorizin hydrolase [3.2.1.23]) has two activities [J-galactosidase activity, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose, and a P-glucosidase activity, which is responsible for hydrolyzing phlorizin, a disaccharide found in some seaweeds and in the roots and bark of plants of the family Rosaceae.

Figure 2.1 Key step Luminal deglycosylation by LPH. For glycosylated flavonolds, this step determines whether the flavonold Is absorbed In the small Intestine. Degly-cosylatlon Is catalyzed by the brush border hydrolase, lactase phlorizin hydrolase. The alternative of transport by a sugar transporter followed by hydrolysis by cytosolic p-glucosidase Is a minor pathway for some flavonolds.

Lactase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose, is also a bifunctional enzyme. Lactase resides on the same polypeptide chain as phlorizin hydrolase. The entire protein is called lactase-phlorizin hydrolase. The N-lermu ial end of the polypeptide resides in the lumen, and bears the lactase activity. The central portion of the...

Cdx2 and HNF-la can also physically interact via their homeodomains, although it is presently unclear if this particular interface is necessary for the observed synergy on the lactazse-phlorizin hydrolase promoter.
