O-Glycoprotease

O-Glycoprotease is an O-glycoprotein-specific endoprotease that catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds directly adjacent to the O-polymer in native mucin-type O-glycosylated proteins. O-Glycoprotease sequence is from Akkermansia muciniphila, recombinantly expressed in E.coli, with a 6xHis tag at the C-terminus. The enzyme maintains high activity between pH 5.5-7.5 and is resistant to 1M NaCl, but is highly sensitive to EDTA (0.5 mM EDTA) and can be inhibited by Zn2+.
