Transglycosylation of IgG
TransGLYCIT is a platform technology that enables efficient and site-specific human IgG glycan remodeling or conjugation. With TransGLYCIT, antibodies with defined and homogenous glycoforms or site-specific azide-activation are generated using fast and robust enzymatic workflows.
The TransGLYCIT Remodeling formats generate a homogenous pool of antibodies carrying the G0, G1, G2 or G2S2 glycan profile with or without the core fucose, and the TransGLYCIT Azide Activation format generates azide-activated antibodies prepared for conjugation with any label of choice using click-chemistry (DOL = 4).
- Efficient and site-specific human IgG Fc N-glycan remodeling or conjugation
- Prepares human IgG with homogenous glycoprofiles, or azide activates human IgG with a reliable degree of labeling (DOL) of 4
- A rapid workflow – transglycosylation is completed within a few hours
at the Fc N-glycan sites

- Deglycosylation
The Fc N-glycans are trimmed to the core GlcNAc using the IgG-specific GlycINATOR® Immobilized (EndoS2) enzyme that hydrolyses all Fc glycoforms, including high-mannose, hybrid, complex and bisecting glycans. The degree of core fucosylation is the same as on the original IgG. It is possible to obtain afucosylated G0, G1, G2 or G2S2 glycoforms using TransGLYCIT Remodeling Afucosylated, where the FucosEXO™ 16 Immobilized enzyme hydrolyzes the α1,6-linked core fucose prior to the transglycosylation step. - Transglycosylation
The engineered glycosynthase TransINATOR™ catalyzes the transglycosylation reaction between the oxazoline-reactive G0, G1, G2, G2S2 or azide-activated glycoform and the core GlcNAc.
The transglycosylation of IgG is followed by an affinity purification step.
The enzymes in TransGLYCIT are expressed in E. coli and modified with His-tags.
TransGLYCIT™ Remodeling
Glycan remodeling of human IgG with the G0, G1, G2 or G2S2 glycoform.
TransGLYCIT Remodeling is a platform technology for efficient transglycosylation of native human IgG in a few hours. The robust workflow transglycosylates the antibody Fc N-glycans using enzymatic remodeling, resulting in a homogenous pool of antibodies carrying a defined glycoform. The technology is available in kits to generate antibodies carrying the G0, G1, G2 or G2S2 glycan profiles.
TransGLYCIT Remodeling contains sufficient material to transglycosylate 1 mg human IgG. The glycan remodeled sample will have the same degree of fucosylation as the original molecule. If you wish to remove core fucosylation, we recommend using TransGLYCIT Remodeling Afucosylated.

TransGLYCIT™ Azide Activation
Azide activation of human IgG1, IgG2 or IgG4.
TransGLYCIT Azide Activation enables efficient and site-specific conjugation at the Fc N-linked glycosylation sites of human IgG. Upon azide activation using TransGLYCIT Azide Activation, the antibody can be labeled with any alkyne-reactive click reagent of choice to a degree of labeling (DOL) of four labels per antibody (DOL = 4).
TransGLYCIT Azide Activation is available in kits containing sufficient material to azide activate 100 µg human IgG.
- Facilitates site-specific custom conjugation of human IgG with a consistent degree of labeling (DOL) of 4
- Higher DOL increases sensitivity for improved detection of low-level targets
- Fc-specific labeling preserves antigen binding-capacity

FAQ and Support
Popular FAQ
Unfortunately no, the enzyme requires trimming of the Fc-glycan using GlycINATOR to enable access to the core fucose substrate.
Yes, the transglycosylation reaction can be performed on all subclasses of human IgG. The reaction is somewhat slower on IgG2 and longer incubation times may be necessary to obtain over 95% transglycosylation.
No, TransGLYCIT is based on IgG specific enzymes and will only transglycosylate IgG.
GlycINATOR is an IgG specific endoglycosidase that hydrolyzes complex, hybrid and high mannonse type glycans on the conserved Fc site on IgG.
The TransGLYCIT platform is developed for transglycosylation of human IgG.
