- Hyaluronic acid was treated exhaustively with a hyaluronate lyase (hyaluronidase, EC 4.2.2.1) from Streptomyces hyalurolyticus to obtain a tetrasaccharide and a hexasaccharide product in a molar ratio of 1 to 1.2. (rpi.edu)
- The enzyme hyaluronate lyase (EC 4.2.2.1) catalyzes the chemical reaction Cleaves hyaluronate chains at a β-D-GalNAc-(1→4)-β-D-GlcA bond, ultimately breaking the polysaccharide down to 3-(4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides. (wikipedia.org)
- A group of carbon-oxygen lyases. (lookformedical.com)
- An enzyme that catalyzes the random hydrolysis of 1,4-linkages between N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine and D-glucuronate residues in hyaluronate. (bvsalud.org)
