Description

An Endoglycosidase is an enzyme that releases oligosaccharides from glycoproteins or glycolipids. It may also cleave polysaccharide chains between residues that are not the terminal residue, although releasing oligosaccharides from conjugated protein and lipid molecules is more common.

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the release of 1 nmol N-glycan from RNaseB per minute at 37 °C.
