The enzyme α-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.50, α-acetylglucosaminidase, N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminidase, N-acetyl-α-glucosaminidase, α-D-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucosidase) is a protein associated with Sanfilippo syndrome, with systematic name α-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide N-acetylglucosaminohydrolase.[2][3][4][5] It catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminides, and also UDP-N-acetylglucosamine.
