Abstract: Hyaluronidase is a kind of glycosidase which mainly degrade hyaluronic acid. Research on hyaluronidase- a negeleted enzyme for a long time increased in recent years. we mainly reviewed the current research on the several resources of hyaluronidase, including human hyaluronidase, bovine testicular hyaluronidase, animal venom hyaluronidase and bacterical hyaluronidase. Moreover, the enzyme activity assays and clinical application were reviewed. Finally the future research on hyaluronidase was prospected.

Key words: Hyaluronidase, Mammal, Venom, Microorganism, Inhibitor
