Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.5.1.105
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
N,N′-diacetylchitobiose + H2O = N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-D-glucosamine + acetate
Systematic Name
N,N′-diacetylchitobiose acetylhydrolase
Function
Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase is a key enzyme in the chitin catabolic cascade of chitinolytic Vibrio strains. Besides being a nutrient, the heterodisaccharide product 4-O-(N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl)-D-glucosamine is a unique inducer of chitinase production in Vibrio parahemolyticus. In contrast to EC 3.5.1.41 (chitin deacetylase) this enzyme is specific for the chitin disaccharide. It also deacetylates the chitin trisaccharide with lower efficiency. No activity with higher polymers of GlcNAc.
