Description
Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase A (Endo-A)
Accepted Name | |
---|---|
Mannosyl-glycoprotein endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. | |
Alternative Name(s) | |
Di-N-acetylchitobiosyl beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. | |
Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. | |
Reaction catalysed | |
Endohydrolysis of the N,N’-diacetylchitobiosyl unit in high-mannose glycopeptides and glycoproteins containing the -(Man(GlcNAc)(2))Asn-structure. One N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue remains attached to the protein, the rest of the oligosaccharide is released intact |
