N-acetylglucosaminylphosphatidylinositol deacetylase activity
id: GO:0000225
name: N-acetylglucosaminylphosphatidylinositol deacetylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the reaction: N-acetyl-D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol + H2O = D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol + acetate. This reaction is the second step of the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), used to anchor various eukaryotic proteins to the cell-surface membrane.
