Description

General description

Hyaluronidase is a hyaluronic acid-metabolizing enzyme. It is found in the venoms of snake, honeybee and hymenoptera. Hyaluronidase degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), which enhances membrane permeability, lowers viscosity and increases tissue permeability. It enhances the diffusion of local anesthetics, lowers the size of myocardial infarction, improves the effects of anticancer drugs and prevents perineal trauma during spontaneous delivery.

Application

Hyaluronidase from sheep testes has been used:

in flow cytometry
in the isolation of putative spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs)
to study the effects of magnetic stimulation in magnetic hydrogel properties
in immunohistochemistry to visualize collagen type II distribution
to expose group-III auditory neurons of Muller′s organ for patch-clamp recordings
for the degeneration of hydrogels

Biochem/physiol Actions

These enzymes randomly cleave β-N-acetylhexosamine-(1−4)-glycosidic bonds in hyaluronic acid, chondroitin, and chondroitin sulfates.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing lactose

Other Notes

One unit will degrade 0.75 μg of the polysaccharide hyaluronic acid per minute at pH 5.35 at 37 ºC (as measured by turbidimetric absorbance (λ: 600nm) when complexed with BSA after 45 minutes).

Protocols

透明质酸酶的酶法测定 (3.2.1.35)

在测定透明质酸酶活性时，使用了一种在600 nm处的比浊测定法进行测定。在pH 5.35、37 °C下，一单位的透明质酸酶活性可每分钟引起0.330的吸光值改变。

Enzymatic Assay of Hyaluronidase (3.2.1.35)

To measure hyaluronidase activity, a turbidimetric determination assay is used at 600 nm. One unit of hyaluronidase activity will cause a change in absorbance of 0.330 per minute at pH 5.35 at 37 °C.
