Man3GlcNAc3-[protein] = {β-D-GlcNAc-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→3)-[α-D-Man-(1→6)]-β-D-Man-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc}-N-Asn-[protein]
Other name(s): MAN2A1 (gene name); MAN2A2 (gene name); mannosidase II; exo-1,3-1,6-α-mannosidase; α-D-mannosidase II; α-mannosidase II; α1-3,6-mannosidase; GlcNAc transferase I-dependent α1,3[α1,6]mannosidase; Golgi α-mannosidase II; ManII; 1,3(1,6)-α-D-mannosidase; 1,3-(1,6-)mannosyl-oligosaccharide α-D-mannohydrolase; (1→3)-(1→6)-mannosyl-oligosaccharide α-D-mannohydrolase
Systematic name: (1→3)-(1→6)-mannosyl-oligosaccharide α-D-mannohydrolase (configuration-retaining)
Comments: The enzyme, found in plants and animals, participates in the processing of N-glycans in the Golgi apparatus. It removes two mannosyl residues, one linked by α1,3 linkage, and the other linked by α1,6 linkage, both of which are removed by the same catalytic site. The enzyme is sensitive to swainsonine.
