Gibco™ PNGase F Glycan Cleavage Kit
Description
Kit includes the PNGase F enzyme, which cleaves N-glycan chains at the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides.
Features:
- ≥95% purity
- Recombinant PNGase F enzyme with no endoglycosidase F1, F2, or F3
- Enzyme leaves N-glycan core oligosaccharides intact and suitable for downstream analysis
- Suitable for use under native or denaturing conditions
Components included in the PNGase F Glycan Cleavage Kit are: 33,000 units of PNGase F (500,000 units/mL) and 1 mL PNGase F 10X buffer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes, PNGase F enzyme may be used in both native and denaturing conditions
When the protein is not denatured with SDS, PNGase F has to work harder to reach the cleavage site of the carbohydrate (due to secondary and tertiary protein structures). In these instances, using more enzyme and/or extended incubation times may help. These conditions will need to be determined empirically for your specific protein.
PNGase F enzyme is stored in 50% glycerol. Therefore, HPLC and/or mass spectrometry is not compatible due to the fact that glycerol is not tolerated in instruments used for these applications.
Typical reaction conditions are as follows: Optimal incubation times and enzyme concentrations must be determined empirically for a particular substrate. 1. Combine 1-20 µg of glycoprotein, 1 µL of 10X denaturing buffer (5% SDS, 400 mM DTT) and H2O (if necessary) to make a 10 µL total reaction volume. 2. Denature glycoprotein by heating reaction at 100 degrees C for 10 min. 3. Make a total reaction volume of 20 µL by adding 2 µL PNGaseF 10X Buffer, 1-5 µL PNGaseF enzyme, 2 µL 10% NP-40 and H2O. 4. Incubate reaction at 37 degrees C for 1 hr. Note: Reactions may be scaled-up linearly to accommodate larger reaction volumes.
As PNGase F is a glycoamidase, the asparagine gets converted into aspartic acid.
