Heparin-degrading lyase that recognizes heparin sulfate proteoglycan as its primary substrate.

Heparinase I and III plays vital role in various biological processes: modulate cell-growth factor interactions, cell-lipoprotein interactions, neovascularization. It cleaves highly sulphated polysaccharide chains in presence of 2-O-sulfated ?-L-idopyranosyluronic acid and ?-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid residues of polysaccharides.
