Function
H2136_AKKM8 Potentially capable of cleaving the specific glycoside linkages in the process of mucin degradation in human intestinal tract (Probable). Hydrolyzes synthetic substrate pNP-beta-GlcNAc with high activity and pNP-beta-GalNAc to a lot lesser extent. Does not hydrolyze pNP-alpha-GalNAc.[1]
