MeSH Heading: Acetylglucosaminidase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.450.483.180.500
Unique ID: D000118
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000118
Annotation: do not confuse with BETA-N-ACETYLHEXOSAMINIDASES
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.
Entry Term(s): Chitobiase; N,N-Diacetylchitobiase; N-Ac-beta-Glucosaminidase; N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase; NAGase; beta-D-Acetamido-2-Deoxyglucosidase; beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase; beta-N-Acetylglucosaminidase
