Disulfoglucosamine-6-sulfatase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a disulfoglucosamine-6-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N,6-O-disulfo-D-glucosamine + H2O N-sulfo-D-glucosamine + sulfate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N,6-O-disulfo-D-glucosamine and H2O, whereas its two products are N-sulfo-D-glucosamine and sulfate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N,6-O-disulfo-D-glucosamine 6-sulfohydrolase. Other names in common use include N-sulfoglucosamine-6-sulfatase, and 6,N-disulfoglucosamine 6-O-sulfohydrolase.
