GlycINATOR® (EndoS2)
GlycINATOR (EndoS2) is an IgG-specific endoglycosidase that hydrolyzes all glycoforms present at the Fc-glycosylation site. The enzyme acts on the chitobiose core and leaves the core GlcNAc.
GlycINATOR is available in three different product formats: as lyophilized powder (GlycINATOR Enzyme), as lyophilized powder with low levels of endotoxin (GlycINATOR LE), and immobilized on agarose (Immobilized GlycINATOR).
Product Information
GlycINATOR (EndoS2) is an endoglycosidase from Streptococcus pyogenes that specifically hydrolyzes glycans at the Fc glycosylation site of IgG. The enzyme has been demonstrated to remove all glycoforms on IgG, including high-mannose, hybrid, complex, and bisecting type glycans (Sjögren et al. 2015). GlycINATOR deglycosylates all human IgG subclasses and IgG from many different species, including mouse, rat, monkey, sheep, goat, cow, and horse. It has been reported to have limited activity on glycans from alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (Sjögren et al. 2013). The enzyme is expressed in E. coli, contains a His-tag, and the molecular weight is 92 kDa.
The enzyme is used to reduce the complexity of antibody based therapeutics or to study core afucosylation and N-glycan site occupancy. The rapid and mild reaction conditions of GlycINATOR ensure a minimized risk for sample prep-induced modifications (Sjögren et al. 2015).

Sjögren, J. et al., 2015. EndoS and EndoS2 hydrolyze Fc-glycans on therapeutic antibodies with different glycoform selectivity and can be used for rapid quantification of high-mannose glycans. Glycobiology, 25(10), pp.1053–1063.
Key Characteristics
- Cleaves all N-linked glycans on IgG
- Specific for the Fc-glycosylation site
- Works on native IgG
- Rapid deglycosylation - 30 min protocol
Applications
- Level of afucosylation
Afucosylation of the IgG glycans has substantial impact on the effector functions of the antibody and can be studied using GlycINATOR. - Reduce Sample Complexity
The glycans can quickly be removed from native IgG using GlycINATOR for subsequent intact mass analysis.
