In enzymology a hyaluronate lyase (EC 4.2.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionCleaves hyaluronate chains at a beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA bond ultimately breaking the polysaccharide down to 3-(4-deoxy-beta-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamineThis 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.
