3.1.1.53 |
| Accepted name: |
sialate O-acetylesterase |
| Reaction: |
N-acetyl-O-acetylneuraminate + H2O = N-acetylneuraminate + acetate |
| Other name(s): |
N-acetylneuraminate acetyltransferase; sialate 9(4)-O-acetylesterase; sialidase |
| Systematic name: |
N-acyl-O-acetylneuraminate O-acetylhydrolase |
| Comments: |
Acts on free and glycosidically bound N-acetyl- or N-glycoloyl-neuraminic acid; acts mainly on the 4-O- and 9-O-acetyl groups. Also acts on some other O-acetyl esters, both cyclic and acyclic compounds, which are not sialic acids. |
