Hyaluronoglucuronidase Explained

Hyaluronoglucuronidase (hyaluronidase, glucuronoglucosaminoglycan hyaluronate lyase, orgelase) is an enzyme with systematic name hyaluronate 3-glycanohydrolase.^{[1] [2]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Random hydrolysis of (1→3)-linkages between β-D-glucuronate and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in hyaluronate
