Alpha-(1-6)-Core Mannosidase

Part number E-AM02
Source recombinant E. Coli
EC 3.2.1.24

Alpha-(1-6) Core Mannosidase cleaves unbranched, terminal non-reducing mannose linked alpha-(1-6) to the mannosyl chitobiose core.

The presence of a branched mannose alpha-(1-3) will inhibit the removal of the 1-6 mannose.

This enzyme should be added subsequent to digestion by other mannosidases, as it may inhibit the other enzyme if a non-cleavable alpha-(1-6) mannose is present.
