Beta-hexosaminidase

BE0003869ProteinVibrio cholerae serotype O1 (strain ATCC 39315 / El Tor Inaba N16961)nagZ

Plays a role in peptidoglycan recycling by cleaving the terminal beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from peptide-linked peptidoglycan fragments, giving rise to free GlcNAc, anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid and anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid-linked peptides. It is acted on by 2 drugs in DrugBank.
