HGSNAT

Heparan-α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (also called "acetyl-CoA:heparan-α-D-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase" and "acetyl-CoA:alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase") is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HGSNAT is_associated_with::gene.

In is_associated_with::enzymology, this enzyme belongs to the family of is_associated_with::transferases, specifically those is_associated_with::acyltransferases transferring groups other than is_associated_with::aminoacyl groups. It is catalysed in the is_associated_with::chemical reaction:


 * is_associated_with::acetyl-CoA + is_associated_with::heparan sulfate α-D-glucosaminide $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + is_associated_with::heparan sulfate N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminide

This enzyme participates in is_associated_with::glycosaminoglycan degradation and is_associated_with::glycan structures degradation. is_associated_with::Mutations in the gene encoding this enzyme cause is_associated_with::mucopolysaccharidosis IIIC.
