Hyaluronidase 1 (HYAL1) hydrolyses 1-4 linkages between GalNAc and D-glucuronate residues in chondroitin (or dermatan). It also hydrolyses this linkage in hyaluronate, another glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units but the only one which is non-sulfated (Frost et al. 1997). There are five human hyaluronidases (HYALs, endo-beta-acetyl-hexosaminidases), HYAL1-4, and PH-20 (Jedrzejas & Stern 2005).
