Poly(alpha-L-guluronate) lyase
The enzyme guluronate-specific alginate lyase catalyzes the following process:
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alginate α-L-guluronate—uronate lyase. Other names in common use include alginase II, guluronate lyase, L-guluronan lyase, L-guluronate lyase, poly-α-L-guluronate lyase, and polyguluronate-specific alginate lyase.
