Miscellaneous

Description

Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase that breaks down hyaluronic acid into monosaccharides ,additionally, to some extent, it also breaks down other acid mucopolysaccharides in the connective tissue .It is an enzyme used to improve the absorption and dispersion of parenterally administered fluids, drugs, and contrast agents as in ,to enhance the absorption of fluids given by…

Mechanism of action

By catalyzing the hydrolysis of hyaluronan, a constituent of the extracellular matrix, hyaluronidase lowers the viscosity of hyaluronan, thereby increasing tissue permeability. It is, therefore, used in medicine in conjunction with other drugs to speed their dispersion and delivery.
