Deglycosylation of Gonadotropins with an Endoglycosidase
A commercially available endoglycosidase (N-glycanase, Genzyme, Boston, Mass.) purified from Flavobacterium meningosepticum with a specificity for cleaving asparagine-linked carbohydrate moieties in glycoproteins was tested on several pituitary and chorionic gonadotropins as substrates.

Regulation of BMP4/Dpp retrotranslocation and signaling by deglycosylation
During endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), the cytoplasmic enzyme N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is proposed to remove N-glycans from misfolded N-glycoproteins after their retrotranslocation from the ER to the cytosol. We previously reported that

Metabolic profile, bioavailability and toxicokinetics of zearalenone-14-glucoside in rats after oral and intravenous administration by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
Zearalenone-14-glucoside (ZEN-14G), a key modified mycotoxin, has attracted a great deal of attention due to the possible conversion to its free form of zearalenone (ZEN) exerting toxicity.

Mechanism-Based Pharmacokinetic Model for the Deglycosylation Kinetics of 20(S)-Ginsenosides Rh2
Aim: The 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) is being developed as a new antitumor drug. However, to date, little is known about the kinetics of its deglycosylation metabolite (protopanoxadiol) (PPD) following Rh2 administration.

Trapping and Characterization of the Reaction Intermediate in Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase by Use of Activated Substrates and a Mutant Enzyme [PDF]
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) catalyze the degradation of starch into linear or cyclic oligosaccharides via a glycosyl transfer reaction occurring with retention of anomeric configuration.

Liver Involvement in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation and Deglycosylation [PDF]
Background: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) and NGLY1-CDDG (NGLY1-congenital disorder of deglycosylation) usually represent multisystem (especially neurovisceral) diseases with liver involvement reported in some of them. The aim of the study was to characterize the liver phenotype in CDG and NGLY1-CDDG patients hospitalized in our Institute,
