N-acetylgalactosaminoglycan deacetylase

The enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminoglycan deacetylase (EC 3.1.1.58) catalyzes the reaction


 * N-acetyl- D -galactosaminoglycan + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -galactosaminoglycan + acetate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is N-acetyl- D -galactosaminoglycan acetylhydrolase. Other names in common use include polysaccharide deacetylase, Vi-polysaccharide deacetylase, and N-acetyl galactosaminoglycan deacetylase.
