Abstract

Hyaluronidases (Hyals) are a class of glycosidases capable of degrading high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan to low molecular weight glycosamine oligosaccharides, which is frequently employed in cancer detection and treatment, as well as the promotion of drug absorption.The glycosamine oligosaccharides derived from enzymolysis exhibit a diverse array of biological functions due to their varying molecular weights, which show notable therapeutic benefits for various diseases.Research has demonstrated that hyaluronidases derived from diverse origins have distinct substrate selectivity and enzymatic degradation trends, allowing for the precise production of oligosaccharides with desired molecular weights.Currently, by recombinantly producing hyaluronidase, researchers can efficiently and intensively generate oligosaccharides with diverse custom-built molecular weights to meet pharmaceutical and healthcare industry needs.This review focuses on the enzymatic properties, biological functions, recombinant expression of hyaluronidase, and their application in glycosaminoglycan synthesis.It offers insights into their unique degradation mechanism, restriction, and potential for producing glycosamine oligosaccharides with specific molecular weight.
