Type: | Domain | Name: | Hyaluronate lyase, beta-sheet domain |
Description: | This entry represents a beta-sheet domain found in hyaluronate lyase. Hyaluronate lyase degrades primarily hyaluronan, the main polysaccharide component of the host connective tissues, into unsaturated disaccharide units as the end product. Such function of the enzyme destroys the normal connective tissue structure of the host and exposes the tissue cells to various bacterial toxins []. | Short Name: | Hyaluronate_lyase_beta_dom |
