Lacto-N-Biosidase

Substrate specificity:

  • This enzyme specifically hydrolyzes oligosaccharides with type 1 chains and produces lacto-N-biose (Galβ-3GlcNAc).
  • The enzyme does not hydrolyze oligosaccharides with type II chain.
  • The structure of the substrate essential for the enzyme activity is the terminal lacto-N-biosyl residue (Galβ1-3GlcNAc).
  • The enzyme does not hydrolyze α2,3-sialyllacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-fucopentaose I and II.
