In enzymology a chondroitin AC lyase (EC 4.2.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionEliminative degradation of polysaccharides containing 14-beta-D-hexosaminyl and 13-beta-D-glucuronosyl linkages to disaccharides containing 4-deoxy-beta-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl groupsThis enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chondroitin AC lyase.
