Description
This hyaluronidase is purified from Streptomyces hyalurolyticus. This enzyme belongs to the endo-beta-hexosaminidase and endo-eliminase type enzyme that produces oligo-saccharide (unsaturated tetraose and pentose) by hydrolyzing the beta-1,4-linkage of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronidase is stable in both high temperature and acid or alkaline range. It has high substrate specificity and hydrolyzes hyaluronic acid only in mucopolysaccharide.
- From Streptomyces hyalurolyticus
- Lyophilized, salt-free
- Activity: ∼2000 units/mg
- Protease and lysozyme free
- Each vial contains 100 U
Enzyme activity is determined by a change in optical density in a hyaluronic acid solution. It is compared to a hyaluronidase International Standard expressed as I.U.
