| Enzyme Specificity | - The enzyme exhibits a broad specificity, cleaving nonreducing terminal ß(1-2,3,4,6)-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues. This enzyme is useful in the study of isolated glycans, glycolipids and glycoproteins, especially in combination with ß N-acetylhexosaminidase from S. pneumoniae (GK80050). We also offer this enzyme at a higher concentration — see GKX-5023. Higher enzyme concentrations may be necessary to remove bisecting ß(1-4)-linked GlcNAc residues in complex N-glycans.
