Both enzymes act by the removal of a relatively acidic C-5 proton of the uronic acid followed by the elimination of a 4-linked hexosamine, resulting in the formation of an unsaturated C4-C5 bond on the hexuronic acid moiety of the products., Chondroitin sulfate, chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan and dermatan sulfate are the best substrates but the enzyme can also act on hyaluronan at a much lower rate., Degrades a variety of glycosaminoglycans of the chondroitin-sulfate-and dermatan-sulfate type., The related enzyme EC 4.2.2.20 has the same substrate specificity but produces a mixture of oligosaccharides of different sizes that are ultimately degraded to tetra-and disaccharides.
