| Accepted name: |
N-acetylhexosamine 1-dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine + NAD+ = N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate + NADH + H+ |
| Other name(s): |
N-acetylhexosamine dehydrogenase; N-acetyl-D-hexosamine dehydrogenase |
| Systematic name: |
N-acetyl-D-hexosamine:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Also acts on N-acetylgalactosamine and, more slowly, on N-acetylmannosamine. Anomeric specificity was tested with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and it was shown that the enzyme is specific for the α anomer. |
