| Post Translational Modifications | N-linked glycan at Asn-115 consists of Man(3)-GlcNAc(2) (Probable). N-linked glycan at Asn-157 consists of either GlcNAc or GlcNAc(2)-Man(7-9). N-linked glycan at Asn-295 consists of either GlcNAc, GlcNAc-Fuc, or GlcNAc(2)-Man(4) (Probable). |
| Function | Hydrolyzes the non-reducing end N-acetyl-D-hexosamine and/or sulfated N-acetyl-D-hexosamine of glycoconjugates, such as the oligosaccharide moieties from proteins and neutral glycolipids, or from certain mucopolysaccharides. The isozyme S is as active as the isozyme A on the anionic bis-sulfated glycans, the chondroitin-6-sulfate trisaccharide (C6S-3), and the dermatan sulfate pentasaccharide, and the sulfated glycosphingolipid SM2. The isozyme B does not hydrolyze each of these substrates, however hydrolyzes efficiently neutral oligosaccharide. Only the isozyme A is responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides in the presence of GM2A. |
