Bacterial chondroitinases (both ABC and AC types) release asymmetric and globular forms of AChE from chick skeletal muscle samples. Heparinases, however, including heparitinase I, fail to do so under different incubation conditions. These results do not support the direct implication of the heparin/heparan sulfate family of GAGs in the interaction of the different AChE molecular forms with the muscle ECM. GAGs of the chondroitin/dermatan sulfate group could however be involved, either directly or indirectly, in the attachment of the AChE collagen-like tail to the muscle basal lamina.
