Detailed Description

Research reagent (glycobiology, preparation of oligosaccharide libraries from heparin and heparan sulfate).
General Information
Synonyms: Heparitinase II, heparin lyase II
Gene Source: Native Flavobacterium Heparinum
EC Number: Not assigned
CAS Number: 149371-12-0
MDL Number: MFCD00131319
(Des)Catalyzed Reaction: Heparinase II cleaves, via an elimination mechanism, sulfated polysaccharides chains containing 1-4 linkages between hexosamines and uronic acid residues (both iduronic and glucuronic acid residues). The reaction yields oligosaccharide products (mainly disaccharides) containing unsaturated uronic acids, which can be detected by UV spectroscopy at 232 nm. The enzyme cleaves both heparin and heparan sulfate, with the heparan sulfate acvitity being about twice as high as the heparin activity.
Substrate Specificity: Heparin, heparan sulfate
