Descriptor Spanish: Acetilglucosaminidasa
Descriptor acetilglucosaminidasa
Entry term(s) N-acetil-beta-D-glucosaminidasa
Scope note: Beta-N-acetilhexosaminidasa que cataliza la hidrólisis de residuos de 2-acetamido-2-desoxi-beta-glucosa terminales y no reductores de la quitobiosa y análogos mayores, así como en glicoproteínas. Se ha utilizado ampliamente en estudios estructurales de las paredes celulares bacterianas y en el estudio de enfermedades como la MUCOLIPIDOSIS y diversos trastornos inflamatorios del músculo y del tejido conjuntivo.

Scope note: A beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-glucose residues in chitobiose and higher analogs as well as in glycoproteins. Has been used widely in structural studies on bacterial cell walls and in the study of diseases such as MUCOLIPIDOSIS and various inflammatory disorders of muscle and connective tissue.
