Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: N,N'-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNac2) + H2O = acetate + 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcN-GlcNAc)
Comment
In this reaction N,N'-diacetylchitobiose is deacetylated at the non-reducing residue to produce 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcN-GlcNAc). This is in contrast to EC:3.5.1.105 in which N,N'-diacetylchitobiose is deacetylated at the reducing residue to produce 4-O-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc-GlcN). For the latter reaction, see GO:0036311.
Synonyms
1. N,N'-diacetylchitobiose deacetylase (nonreducing end)
