DESCRIPTION

Also known as PGDA1_BACCR, BC_1960. Catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in peptidoglycan (PubMed:15961396, PubMed:29983281). Also acts on soluble chitin substrates and N-acetylchitooligomers. Acts on cell wall peptidoglycan from the Gram-positive bacteria B.cereus and B.subtilis and the Gram-negative bacterium H.pylori. Not active on acetylated xylan (PubMed:15961396).
