FunFam 5: Heparin/heparan-sulfate lyase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Heparin-sulfate lyase. [EC: 4.2.2.8]
Elimination of sulfate, appears to act on linkages between N-acetyl-D- glucosamine and uronate. Product is an unsaturated sugar.
  • Does not act on N,O-desulfated glucosamine or N-acetyl-O-sulfated glucosamine linkages.
1 C6XZB6
Heparin lyase. [EC: 4.2.2.7]
Eliminative cleavage of polysaccharides containing (1->4)-linked D-glucuronate or L-iduronate residues and (1->4)-alpha-linked 2-sulfoamino-2-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucose residues to give oligosaccharides with terminal 4-deoxy-alpha-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl groups at their non- reducing ends.
