ABSTRACT
Hyaluronidases are a group of enzymes responsible for the degradation of hyaluronan. They seem to be associated with a plethora of pathological conditions, as it has been showcased by numerous studies over the past years. The emerging role of hyaluronidases in various pathological states, especially cancer, is of a great interest. Thus, they are considered as important research targets.In this chapter the popular assay for hyaluronidase analysis in biological fluids is presented and discussed in detail. The assay is divided into two steps; the first is zymography that aims mainly to detect different hyaluronidase enzymes in a biological sample, and the second is the direct quantitative measurement of enzymatic activity by a microtiter plate assay. Both steps are characterized by high sensitivity, simplicity, and limited time consumption.
