PNGase F – Hydrolysis of N-glycans

PNGase F (Peptide N-glycosidase F) is a glycoamidase hydrolyzing the amide bond between the polypeptide asparagine and the innermost GlcNAc of all mammalian asparagine-linked complex, hybrid, or high-mannose oligosaccharides.

SmartEnzymes™

The enzyme is widely used for sample preparation prior to MS analysis – to reduce the protein heterogeneity and enable released glycan analysis – and to study the functional role of the N-glycan.

About PNGase F

PNGase F is a glycoamidase hydrolyzing the amide bond between the polypeptide asparagine and the innermost GlcNAc of all mammalian asparagine-linked complex, hybrid, or high mannose oligosaccharides.

During the reaction, the asparagine residue from which the glycan is removed is deamidated to aspartic acid. The released oligosaccharide is left intact and can be used for further analysis. Removal of N-glycans is widely used for sample preparation for MS analysis to reduce the protein heterogeneity and enable released glycan analysis, and to study the functional role of the N-glycan.

The enzyme is expressed in E. coli from a recombinant gene derived from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica.

The recommended buffer for best performance of the column is TBS buffer at pH 8.6. Other buffers with neutral pH containing 0.15 M NaCl can also be used but optimization may then be required.

No, it is not recommended. We can only guarantee optimal performance for one-time use.

PNGase F Immobilized hydrolyzes the amide bond between the polypeptide asparagine and the innermost GlcNAc of all mammalian asparagine-linked complex, hybrid, or high mannose oligosaccharides. It does not remove N-glycans with α1-3 core fucosylation.

The columns are recommended to be used for deglycosylation at native conditions only.
