Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of a Novel β-N-Acetyl-D-Hexosaminidase with Broad Substrate-Spectrum from the Aisan Corn Borer, Ostrinia Furnacalis

<p>Insect &#946;-<i>N</i>-acetyl-D-hexosaminidases with broad substrate-spectrum (IBS-Hex) are the homologues of human &#946;-<i>N</i>-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase A/B (HsHex A/ B). These enzymes are distributed in most insect species and vary in physiological roles....
