Abstract excerpt

Enzymes belonging to the beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase family cleave chitin oligosaccharides produced by the action of chitinases on chitin into the constituent N-acetylglucosamine monomer. Four genes encoding putative chitooligosaccharidolytic beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases (hereafter referred to as N-acetylglucosaminidases (NAGs)) in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, namely TcNAG1, TcFDL, TcNAG2, and...
