Comments [?]

FUNCTIONPlays a role in peptidoglycan recycling by cleaving the terminal beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from peptide- linked peptidoglycan fragments, giving rise to free GlcNAc, anhydro-N- acetylmuramic acid and anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid-linked peptides.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminides.; EC=3.2.1.52;
PATHWAYCell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan recycling.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 3 family. NagZ subfamily.
