Hyaluronan is an important constituent of the extracellular matrix. This polysaccharide can be hydrolyzed by various hyaluronidases that are widely distributed in nature. The structure of some bacterial and animal enzymes of this type has recently been elucidated. It could be shown that the hyaluronidases from bee and hornet venom and the PH-20 hyaluronidase present on mammalian spermatozoa are homologous proteins.
透明质酸是细胞外基质的重要组成部分。这种多糖可被自然界中广泛分布的各种透明质酸酶水解。最近已阐明了此类一些细菌和动物酶的结构。结果表明,来自蜜蜂和黄蜂毒液的透明质酸酶以及存在于哺乳动物精子上的PH-20透明质酸酶是同源蛋白。
