Figure 2 Hyaluronidase function.
Mammalian hyaluronidases are endoglycosidases that hydrolyze the β1→4 linkage between the GlcNAc and GlcA disaccharide units that make up HA. This results in non-reducing and reducing termini; the non-reducing sugar becomes a substrate for the exoglycosidase β-glucuronidase.
