Ec Number:	3.2.1.92
Cas Number:	52219-03-1

Peptidoglycan β-N-acetylmuramidase (exo-β-N-acetylmuramidase, exo-β-acetylmuramidase, β-2-acetamido-3-O-(D-1-carboxyethyl)-2-deoxy-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name peptidoglycan β-N-acetylmuramoylexohydrolase.^[1] It catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing N-acetylmuramic residues.
