EC 3.5.99.6     
Accepted name: glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase
Reaction: α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H2O = D-fructose 6-phosphate + NH3

Glossary: α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate = 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose 6-phosphate
Other name(s): glucosaminephosphate isomerase (ambiguous); glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase (ambiguous); phosphoglucosaminisomerase (ambiguous); glucosamine phosphate deaminase; aminodeoxyglucosephosphate isomerase (ambiguous); phosphoglucosamine isomerase (ambiguous); 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate aminohydrolase (ketol isomerizing)
Systematic name: 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucose-6-phosphate aminohydrolase (ketol isomerizing)
Comments: The enzyme uses ring opening and isomerization of the aldose-ketose type to convert the -CH(-NH2)-CH=O group of glucosamine 6-phosphate into -C(=NH)-CH2-OH, forming 2-deoxy-2-imino-D-arabino-hexitol, which then hydrolyses to yield fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, which is not broken down, activates the enzyme.
