The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Paenibacillus borealis, catalyses a reversible reaction, transferring a glucosyl residue attached by a beta(1,3) linkage to a D-glucuronate residue (either free or as a part of a beta-D-glucuronide) to a free phosphate, generating alpha-D-glucopyranose 1-phosphate.
