PNGase F is suitable for the release of all types (high-mannose, hybrid and complex) N-linked glycans from glycoproteins and glycopeptides. PNGase F will not remove oligosaccharides containing α(1-3) linked core fucose commonly found on plant glycoproteins.
PNGase F cleaves asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. PNGase F deaminates asparagine to aspartic acid, leaving the oligosaccharides intact. Denaturation increases the rate of cleavage up to 100x. Most native proteins can still be completely N-deglycosylated but incubation time must be increased. PNGase F will remain active under incubation conditions for at least 72 hours. PNGase F will not remove oligosaccharides containing α(1,3)-linked core fucose commonly found on plant glycoproteins; for this purpose, use peptide N-glycosidase A.
Kit includes enzyme plus reaction buffers. Sufficient for up to 60 reactions.
