Reaction: Hydrolysis of an N4-(acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl)asparagine residue in which the glucosamine residue may be further glycosylated, to yield a (substituted) N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminylamine and a peptide containing an aspartate residue
Other name(s): glycopeptide N-glycosidase; glycopeptidase; N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase; N-glycanase; glycopeptidase; Jack-bean glycopeptidase; PNGase A; PNGase F; glycopeptide N-glycosidase
Systematic name: N-linked-glycopeptide-(N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl)-L-asparagine amidohydrolase
Comments: Does not act on (GlcNAc)Asn, because it requires the presence of more than two amino-acid residues in the substrate [cf. EC 3.5.1.26 N4-(β-N-acetylglucosaminyl)-L-asparaginase]. The plant enzyme was previously erroneously listed as EC 3.2.2.18.
