Myrosinase Compatible Simultaneous Determination of Glucosinolates and Allyl Isothiocyanate by Capillary Electrophoresis Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography (CE-MEKC) [PDF]
Introduction. The functional food Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates which are decomposed by the myrosinase enzyme upon tissue damage. The isothiocyanates are the most frequent decomposition products.

Molecular Modelling of Broccoli Myrosinase and its Interaction with Different Ligands
Myrosinase (ß-thioglucosidase glucohydrolase (EC 3.2.3.1)) is a glycoprotein responsible for the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a group of sulfur-containing secondary metabolites present in Brassicaceae plants.

Distribution of Myrosinase in Rapeseed Tissues [PDF]
Immunocytochemical studies on Brassica napus (rapeseed) tissues using a monoclonal antibody against myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase) showed that the enzyme was only present in a small number of cells. In the developing embryo, scattered myrosinase-containing cells were present in both cotyledons and axis.

Broccoli sprouts are a convenient and rich source of the glucosinolate glucoraphanin, which can generate the chemopreventive agent sulforaphane through the catalytic actions of plant myrosinase or β-thioglucosidases in the gut microflora.

Effect of Glucoraphanin on the Abundance of Nrf2 Regulated Genes Within Circulating Small Extracellular Vesicles: A Pilot Dietary Intervention. [PDF]
Broccoli accumulates glucoraphanin, converted to sulforaphane, which activates nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2), which may reduce age‐related inflammation. Given sulforaphane's rapid excretion, we hypothesised that its effects are mediated via plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs).
