The enzyme, characterized from the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, removes the rhamnosyl residue from alpha-L-rhamnosyl-(1->4)-D-glucuronate or (with lower activity) from oligosaccharides that contain this motif at the non-reducing end, leaving an unsaturated glucuronate residue. Among its natural substrates is the type II arabinogalactan component of gum arabic.
