Description
Product Description: Hyaluronidase is a glycoprotein containing 5% mannose and 2.17% glucosamine, it catalyzes the random hydrolysis of 1,4-linkages between 2-acetamido- 2-deoxy- β-D-glucose and D-glucose residues in hyaluronate. Hyaluronidase from bovine testes is a tetramer consisting of 4 equal subunits with a molecular mass of 14 kDa each.
Biochem/physiol Actions: Hyaluronidase degrades hyaluronan and has been found to be inappropriately regulated during cancer progression. These enzymes randomly cleave β-N-acetylhexosamine-[1→4] glycosidic bonds in hyaluronic acid, chondroitin, and chondroitin sulfates.
Unit Definition: Amount of enzyme which liberates one micromole of N-acetylglucosamine per minute at 37°C and pH 4.0
Specificity: Testicular hyaluronidase hydrolyzes the endo-N-acetylhexosaminic bonds of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfuric acids A and C (but not B), primarily to tetrasaccharide residues. Monosaccharides are not liberated.
