hex·os·a·min·i·dase (hek'sōs-ă-min'i-dās), General term for enzymes hydrolyzing N-acetylhexose (for example, N-acetylglucosamine) residues from gangliosidelike oligosaccharides. At least four specific enzymes carrying out this type of reaction are known: α-N-acetyl-d-galactosaminidase, α-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminidase, β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase, and β-N-acetyl-d-galactosaminidase, each being specific for the configuration and type of sugar included in the name.hex·os·a·min·i·dase (heks-ōs'ă-min'i-dās) General term for enzymes cleaving N-acetylhexose residues from gangliosidelike oligosaccharides. |
