The enzyme from Penicillium oxalicum has unique enzymatic properties despite its close evolutionary relationship with other fungal hexosaminidases. It has high GalNAcase activity tolerates substrates with the modified N-acyl group better and has some other unusual catalytic properties. In order to understand these features we performed isolation biochemical and enzymological characterization molecular cloning and molecular modelling. The native enzyme is composed of two catalytic units 65 kDa each and two propeptides 15 kDa each yielding a molecular weight of 160 kDa. Enzyme deglycosylated by .
