Retinyl glucoside
Retinyl glucoside (Retinyl β-D-glucoside) is a lipid β-D-glucoside of retinol, and also serves as a substrate for broad-spectrum β-glucosidase (β-glucosidase). Retinyl glucoside can be hydrolyzed by guinea pig hepatocyte cytosolic and membrane-associated β-glucosidases as well as almond β-glucosidase to release retinol and glucose, but it is not hydrolyzed by human placental glucocerebrosidase. Retinyl glucoside can be used in the research of Gaucher's disease.

Biological Activity
Retinyl glucoside (60 min) can be hydrolyzed by almond β-glucosidase in 0.1 M sodium acetate (pH 5.5), releasing nearly equimolar amounts of retinol and glucose, with a glucose/retinol molar ratio of 0.99[1].
Retinyl glucoside (60 min) can be hydrolyzed by guinea pig hepatocellular cytosolic β-glucosidase and membrane-associated TX-100 β-glucosidase in 0.2 M Sodium Citrate (HY-B2201) (pH 6.0)[1].
Retinyl glucoside (1 h) is not hydrolyzed by human placental glucocerebrosidase in 0.1 M sodium acetate (pH 5.5) containing TdC[1].
