|---|

| Comment(s) |
|---|
- 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.
