Chondro-6-sulfatase explained

Chondro-6-sulfatase
Ec Number:	3.1.6.10
Cas Number:	9045-76-5

The enzyme chondro-6-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.10)^[1] catalyzes the reaction

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

\rightleftharpoons 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + sulfate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name is 4-deoxy-β-D-gluc-4-enuronosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-6-sulfate 6-sulfohydrolase.
