Unsaturated chondroitin disaccharide hydrolase


Unsaturated chondroitin disaccharide hydrolase is an enzyme with systematic name beta-D-4-deoxy-Delta4-GlcAp--beta-D-GalNAc6S hydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
The enzyme releases 4-deoxy-4,5-didehydro D-glucuronic acid or 4-deoxy-4,5-didehydro L-iduronic acid from chondroitin disaccharides, hyaluronan disaccharides and heparin disaccharides.
