Glucuronan lyase is a polysaccharide lyase that performs eliminative cleavage of (1->4)-beta-D-glucuronans, yielding oligosaccharides with 4-deoxy-beta-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl non-reducing ends; complete degradation produces tetrasaccharides. It is found in Bacteria and Eukaryota. Structurally it is a glucuronan lyase.
