Also known as CGI-14
Summary
AMDHD2 (amidohydrolase domain containing 2, HGNC:24262) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p13.3, encoding N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase (Q9Y303). Hydrolyzes the N-glycolyl group from N-glycolylglucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcNGc-6-P) in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway.
Enables N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase activity. Involved in negative regulation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus.

N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase — Q9Y303 (reviewed: Q9Y303)
Alternative names: Amidohydrolase domain-containing protein 2
All UniProt accessions (7): A0A3B3IU33, Q9Y303, H3BSD5, H3BSV9, H3BT49, H3BTE3, H3BTZ6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Hydrolyzes the N-glycolyl group from N-glycolylglucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcNGc-6-P) in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway. Although human is not able to catalyze formation of Neu5Gc due to the inactive CMAHP enzyme, Neu5Gc is present in food and must be degraded.
Cofactor. Binds 1 divalent metal cation per subunit.
Pathway. Amino-sugar metabolism; N-acetylneuraminate degradation.
Similarity. Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. NagA family.
