2'-N-acetylparomamine deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.112, btrD (gene), neoL (gene), kanN (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 2'-N-acetylparomamine hydrolase (acetate-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2'-N-acetylparomamine + H2O paromamine + acetate

This enzyme takes part in the biosynthetic pathways of several clinically important aminocyclitol antibiotics, including kanamycin, butirosin, neomycin and ribostamycin.
