General annotation (Comments)

Function	Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Degrades chitotriose. Ref.1
Catalytic activity	Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminides. Ref.1
Subcellular location	Lysosome Potential.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in coelomocytes and neurons of the pharyngeal region and nerve cord. Ref.1
Developmental stage	Expressed throughout the life cycle. Ref.1
Disruption phenotype	Worms show reduced degradation of p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetylglucosaminide and no chitotriosidase activity. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
Biophysicochemical properties	Kinetic parameters: KM=1.1 mM for p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetylglucosaminide Ref.1 pH dependence: Optimum pH is 5.5.
