DE   N-acetylhexosamine 1-dehydrogenase.
CA   N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + NAD(+) + H2O = N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate +
CA   NADH + 2 H(+).
CC   -!- Also acts on N-acetylgalactosamine and, more slowly,
CC       on N-acetylmannosamine.
CC   -!- Anomeric specificity was tested with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and it
CC       was shown that the enzyme is specific for the alpha anomer.
