Contents
60 µl aliquot of enzyme (300 mU) in 20 mM Tris-HCl, 25 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA (pH 7.5).
200 µl 5x Reaction Buffer 5.5 (250 mM sodium phosphate, pH 5.5)
Denaturation Solution - 2% SDS, 1 M Beta-mercaptoethanol

Specific Activity >30 U/mg
Activity 5 U/ml

Molecular weight 29,000 daltons
pH range 5-6, optimum 5.5

Suggested usage 1. Add up to 200 µg of glycoprotein to Eppendorf tube. Adjust to 37.5 µl final volume with deionized water.
2. Add 10 µl 5X Endo H Buffer and 2.5 µl of Denaturation Solution (SDS/-ME). Heat at 100°C for 5 minutes.
3. Cool, and then add 2.0 µl of Endo H to the reaction. Incubate 3 hours at 37°C.

Specifictity QA-Bio™ Endo H cleaves Asparagine-linked hybrid or high mannose oligosaccharides, but not complex oligosaccharides. It cleaves between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. In contrast, PNGase F removes the oligosaccharide intact. Detergent and heat denaturation may increase the rate of cleavage for some glycoproteins.

Specific Activity One unit of Endo H activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the release of N-linked oligosaccharides from 1 µmole of denatured Ribonuclease B. Cleavage is monitored by SDS-PAGE (cleaved Ribonuclease B migrates faster).

Storage Store enzyme at 4°C.
