N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase

In enzymology, a N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * N-sulfo-D-glucosamine + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D-glucosamine + sulfate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-sulfo-D-glucosamine and H2O, whereas its two products are D-glucosamine and sulfate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfur-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-sulfo-D-glucosamine sulfohydrolase. Other names in common use include sulfoglucosamine sulfamidase, heparin sulfamidase, 2-desoxy-D-glucoside-2-sulphamate sulphohydrolase (sulphamate, and sulphohydrolase). This enzyme participates in glycosaminoglycan degradation and glycan structures - degradation.
