Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Beta-hexosaminidase Amuc_0868
Synonyms
  1. Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase Am0868
Gene Name (GENBANK) BETA-N-ACETYLHEXOSAMINIDASE
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Potentially capable of cleaving the specific glycoside linkages in the process of mucin degradation in human intestinal tract (Probable). Hydrolyzes chromogenic substrates pNP-beta-GlcNAc with high activity and pNP-beta-GalNAc to a lesser extent, but not pNP-beta-glucose or pNP-beta-galactose (PubMed:32819592).
Pathways
