The enzyme, isolated from the fungus Aspergillus giganteus, acts on the non-reducing end of methyl-esterified polygalacturonan, releasing either 4-deoxy--L-threo-hex-4-enopyranuronate or 4-deoxy-6-O-methyl-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranuronate. The enzyme is stimulated by divalent cations, with Co2+ having the strongest effect. It is able to act on substrates as short as a disaccharide, and was active on substrates with degrees of methyl esterification ranging between 34% and 90%.
