Chondroitin ABC lyase (EC 4.2.2.20 EC 4.2.2.21, chondroitinase, chondroitin ABC eliminase, chondroitinase ABC) is an enzyme with systematic name chondroitin ABC lyase. [1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
This enzyme acts on chondroitin 4-sulfate, chondroitin 6-sulfate and dermatan sulfate.
Following a spinal cord injury, this enzyme can be used to erode scar tissue that can interfere with regeneration. [3]
