Chondro-4-sulfatase

The enzyme chondro-4-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.9)  catalyzes the reaction


 * 4-deoxy-β- D -gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl- D -galactosamine 4-sulfate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 4-deoxy-β- D -gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl- D -galactosamine + sulfate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name is 4-deoxy-β- D -gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl- D -galactosamine-4-sulfate 4-sulfohydrolase. This enzyme is also called chondroitin-4-sulfatase.
