Hyaluronate lyase

In enzymology, a hyaluronate lyase (EC 4.2.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction In enzymology, a hyaluronate lyase (EC 4.2.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hyaluronate lyase. Other names in common use include hyaluronidase , glucuronoglycosaminoglycan lyase, spreading factor, and mucinase. As of late 2007, 27 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1C82, 1EGU, 1F1S, 1F9G, 1I8Q, 1LOH, 1LXK, 1LXM, 1N7N, 1N7O, 1N7P, 1N7Q, 1N7R, 1OJM, 1OJN, 1OJO, 1OJP, 1W3Y, 2BRP, 2BRV, 2BRW, 2C3F, 2DP5, 2PK1, 2YVV, 2YW0, and 2YX2.
