In enzymology a heparin lyase (EC 4.2.2.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionEliminative cleavage of polysaccharides containing 14-linked D-glucuronate or L-iduronate residues and 14-alpha-linked 2-sulfoamino-2-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucose residues to give oligosaccharides with terminal 4-deoxy-alpha-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing endsThis enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides.
