Enzyme Information
| 4.2.2.5 | 
							 Chondroitin AC lyase. 
							based on mapping to UniProt Q59288 		
							Eliminative degradation of polysaccharides containing 1,4-beta-D- hexosaminyl and 1,3-beta-D-glucuronosyl linkages to disaccharides containing 4-deoxy-beta-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl groups. 
							-!- Acts on chondroitin 4-sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate, but less well on hyaluronate. -!- In general, chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) chains comprise a linkage region, a chain cap and a repeat region. -!- The repeat region of CS is a repeating disaccharide of glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) [-4)GlcA(beta-1- 3)GalNAc(beta-1-](n), which may be O-sulfated on the C-4 and/or C-6 of GalNAc and C-2 of GlcA. -!- GlcA residues of CS may be epimerized to iduronic acid (IdoA) forming the repeating disaccharide [-4)IdoA(alpha-1-3)GalNAc(beta-1-](n) of DS. -!- Both the concentrations and locations of sulfate-ester substituents vary with glucosaminoglycan source. -!- Formerly EC 4.2.99.6.
