diacetylchitobiose catabolic process to glucosamine and acetate

id: GO:0052776
name: diacetylchitobiose catabolic process to glucosamine and acetate
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The pathway resulting in the breakdown of diacetylchitobiose into simpler products, including N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine. The catabolism proceeds by the deacetylation of diacetylchitobiose, producing acetate and glucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine; the latter is cleaved to produce glucose and N-acetylglucosamine. The N-acetylglucosamine is then deacetylated to produce glucosamine and acetate.
