N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase

UniProtKB accession:  P0AF18

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the first step in the biosynthesis of amino-sugar-nucleotides. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-acetyl group of N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P) to yield glucosamine 6-phosphate and acetate. In vitro, can also hydrolyze substrate analogs such as N-thioacetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate, N-trifluoroacetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-6-phosphate, and N-formyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate.
