MeSH definition : A beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing
2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-glucose residues in chitobiose and higher analogs as well
as in glycoproteins. Has been used widely in structural studies on bacterial cell
walls and in the study of diseases such as MUCOLIPIDOSIS and various inflammatory
disorders of muscle and connective tissue.;
