eliminative cleavage of unsaturated trigalacturonate as the major product from the reducing end of polygalacturonic acid/pectate
Comment
Differs in specificity from EC 4.2.2.9, pectate disaccharide-lyase, as the predominant action is removal of a trisaccharide rather than a disaccharide from the reducing end. Disaccharides and tetrasaccharides may also be removed [2].
