KEGG   ENZYME: 3.1.6.15
Entry
EC 3.1.6.15                 Enzyme                                 
Name
N-sulfoglucosamine-3-sulfatase;
chondroitinsulfatase
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on ester bonds;
Sulfuric-ester hydrolases
Sysname
N-sulfo-3-sulfoglucosamine 3-sulfohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Hydrolysis of the 3-sulfate groups of the N-sulfo-D-glucosamine 3-O-sulfate units of heparin
Comment
The enzyme from Flavobacterium heparinum also hydrolyses N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 3-O-sulfate; the mammalian enzyme acts only on the disulfated residue.
History
EC 3.1.6.15 created 1984, modified 1989
