EC 2.3.1.78

Accepted name: heparan-α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase

Reaction: acetyl-CoA + heparan sulfate α-D-glucosaminide = CoA + heparan sulfate N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminide

Other name(s): acetyl-CoA:α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase

Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:heparan-α-D-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase

Comments: Brings about the acetylation of glucosamine groups of heparan sulfate and heparin from which the sulfate has been removed. Also acts on heparin. Not identical with EC 2.3.1.3 glucosamine N-acetyltransferase or EC 2.3.1.4 glucosamine-phosphate N-acetyltransferase.
