DE   exo-1,4-beta-D-glucosaminidase.
AN   exo-beta-D-glucosaminidase.
AN   exochitosanase.
AN   GlcNase.
CA   Hydrolysis of chitosan or chitosan oligosaccharides to remove successive
CA   D-glucosamine residues from the non-reducing termini.
CC   -!- Chitosan is a partially or totally N-deacetylated chitin derivative
CC       that is found in the cell walls of some phytopathogenic fungi and
CC       comprises D-glucosamine residues with a variable content of GlcNAc
CC       residues.
CC   -!- Acts specifically on chitooligosaccharides and chitosan, having
CC       maximal activity on chitotetraose, chitopentaose and their
CC       corresponding alcohols.
CC   -!- Can degrade GlcN-GlcNAc but not GlcNAc-GlcNAc.
