Description
PNGase A cleaves N-linked glycans from high mannose, hybrid, and short complex oligosaccharides such as those found in plant and insect cells. PNGase A differs from PNGase F in that it cleaves N-linked glycans with or without α(1,3)-linked core fucose residues.
PNGase A is a recombinant amidase, which cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and short complex oligosaccharides such as those found in plant and insect cells from N-linked glycoproteins and glycopeptides. PNGase A differs from PNGase F in that it cleaves N-linked glycans with or without α(1,3)-linked core fucose residues.
