ENZYME entry: EC 3.2.1.132
Accepted Name |
chitosanase.
|
Reaction catalysed |
Endohydrolysis of beta-(1->4)-linkages between D-glucosamine residues in a partly acetylated chitosan |
Comment(s) |
- A whole spectrum of chitosanases are now known that can hydrolyze
various types of links in chitosan.
- The only constant property is the endohydrolysis of GlcN-GlcN links,
which is common to all known chitosanases.
- One known chitosanase is limited to this link recognition, while the
majority can also recognize GlcN-GlcNAc links or GlcNAc-GlcN links
but not both.
- They also do not recognize GlcNAc-GlcNAc links in partly acetylated
chitosan.
