EC 3.1.6.10

Accepted name: chondro-6-sulfatase

Reaction: 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 6-sulfate + H2O = 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + sulfate

Other name(s): 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1,3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-6-sulfate 6-sulfohydrolase

Systematic name: 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-6-sulfate 6-sulfohydrolase

Comments: Also acts on the saturated analogue and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 4,6-disulfate, but not higher oligosaccharides, nor any 4-sulfate
