Product Overview
PNGase F is the most efficient enzymatic method to remove nearly all N-glycans from glycoproteins. PNGaseF digests the glycosidic bond between the innermost N-acetylglucosamine and asparagine residues. It cleaves N-glycans attached to glycoproteins, including high-mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharide glycoforms.
Key Features
Efficient N-glycan release enzyme
PNGase F is widely used for enzymatic removal of N-linked glycans from glycoproteins by cleaving the bond between the innermost N-acetylglucosamine and asparagine residues. It is applicable to high-mannose, hybrid, and complex N-glycan structures.
Preservation of glycan core structure
After enzymatic digestion, the released N-glycans retain their core structures, making them suitable for downstream structural and analytical studies.
High purity
Purity is typically ≥95% as determined by standard analytical methods.
Flexible reaction conditions
Compatible with both denaturing and non-denaturing digestion conditions depending on experimental requirements.
Multiple product formats available
Different enzyme formats are available to support diverse application needs (e.g., HBP003006/ HBP003013 /HBP003004).
Applications
N-glycan release for structural analysis
Used for enzymatic cleavage of N-linked glycans prior to downstream analytical workflows, typically performed at 37 °C under recommended conditions.
CE and chromatography-based glycan analysis
Suitable for sample preparation in capillary electrophoresis (CE), HPLC, or LC-MS-based N-glycan profiling methods.
Glycoprotein characterization
Applied in glycoprotein analysis workflows to support structural and comparative glycosylation studies.
