2'-N-acetylparomamine deacetylase

2'-N-acetylparomamine deacetylase (, btrD (gene), neoL (gene), kanN (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 2'-N-acetylparomamine hydrolase (acetate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * 2'-N-acetylparomamine + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ paromamine + acetate

This enzyme takes part in the biosynthetic pathways of several clinically important aminocyclitol antibiotics, including kanamycin, butirosin, neomycin and ribostamycin.
