The enzyme N-sulfoglucosamine-3-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.15}) catalyzes cleaving off the 3-sulfate groups of the N-sulfo-D-glucosamine 3-O-sulfate units of heparin.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic nameis N-sulfo-3-sulfoglucosamine 3-sulfohydrolase. This enzyme is also called chondroitinsulfatase. This enzyme participates in the degradation of glycan structures.
