Description

General description

Enzyme Commission (EC) Number 4.2.2.x

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chondroitinase C acts upon chondroitin sulfate C, releasing unsaturated 6-sulfated disaccharides. The enzyme also acts on hyaluronic acid, producing unsaturated nonsulfated disaccharides. The enzyme is strongly inhibited by NaCl, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺ and phosphate ions.

Other Notes

One unit will form 0.1 μmole of unsaturated uronic acid per hr at pH 8.0 at 25 °C using chondroitin sulfate C as substrate.
