DE   Chitosanase.
CA   Endohydrolysis of beta-(1->4)-linkages between D-glucosamine residues in
CA   a partly acetylated chitosan.
CC   -!- A whole spectrum of chitosanases are now known that can hydrolyze
CC       various types of links in chitosan.
CC   -!- The only constant property is the endohydrolysis of GlcN-GlcN links,
CC       which is common to all known chitosanases.
CC   -!- One known chitosanase is limited to this link recognition, while the
CC       majority can also recognize GlcN-GlcNAc links or GlcNAc-GlcN links
CC       but not both.
CC   -!- They also do not recognize GlcNAc-GlcNAc links in partly acetylated
CC       chitosan.
