Specificity:
O-glycosidase leaves only unsubstituted Gal-β(1-3)GalNAc-α disaccharides attached to the serine or threonine residues of glycoproteins or glycopeptides.

Substitutions such as sialic acid, galactose, fucose or N-acetylglucosamine must first be removed with the appropriate exoglycosidase prior to treatment with Endo-O-Glycosidase. At minimum, a sialadase such as Sialadase Au α(2-3,6,8,9), part number E-S001, is almost always required to remove sialic acids.

Activity: >1.25 U/mL

Molecular weight: 180,000 daltons

pH range: 5-7, optimum 5.0

Suggested usage:
1. Add up to 100 µg of glycoprotein to a tube.
2. Add de-ionized water to a total of 13 µL.
3. Add 4 µL of 5x Reaction Buffer 5.0.

Specific Activity: Defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 µmole of p-nitrophenol (pNP) in 1 minute at 37°C, pH 5.0 from p-nitrophenyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-α-D-galactopyranoside.

Storage: Store enzyme at 4°C.

Stability: Stable at least 12 months when stored properly. Several days exposure to ambient temperature will not reduce activity. Active for at lease 5 days under reaction conditions.

Purity: O-Glycosidase is tested for contaminating protease as follows; 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated for 24 hours at 37°C with 2 µL of enzyme. SDS-PAGE analysis of the treated BSA shows no evidence of degradation.
