| hyaluronidase |
A group of naturally occurring enzymes that digest certain forms of carbohydrate molecules called proteoglycans. The primary role of hyaluronidase is to digest proteoglycans such as hyaluronan, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate, substances that partly serve as connective tissues in various parts of the body, including the eye. For over 50 years, physicians have used a much less purified form of hyaluronidase safely and extensively to enhance the absorption of local anesthetics.
