Abstract

An isolated or recombinant DNA sequence coding for a mammalian, including human, glucuronyl C5-epimerase or a functional derivative thereof capable or converting D-glucuronyl acid (GlcA) to L-iduronic acid (IdoA); a recombinant expression vector comprising such DNA sequence; a host cell transformed with such recombinant expression vector; a process for manufacture of a glucuronyl C5-epimerase or functional derivative thereof capable of coverting GlcA to IdoA, comprising cultivation of a cell-line transformed with such recombinant expression vector; and a glucuronyl C5-epimerase or functional derivative thereof prepared by such process.
