Endoglycoceramidase I (EGCase I)
NEBU cloned at NEB recombinant 37 65 Heat

  • Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-glycosidic linkage between oligosaccharides and ceramides in various glycosphingolipids
  • Oligosaccharide and ceramide remain intact, leaving them suitable for further analysis. 
  • This is an Enzyme for Innovation (EFI). EFI is a project initiated by NEB to provide unique enzymes to the scientific community in the hopes of enabling the discovery of new and innovative applications. These enzymes have interesting properties and unique specificities.

  • Product Information
    Endoglycoceramidase I (EGCase I) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-glycosidic linkage between oligosaccharides and ceramides in various glycosphingolipids. The enzyme leaves the oligosaccharide and ceramide intact, keeping them suitable for further analysis. The enzyme efficiently releases oligosaccharides from ganglio- and globo-type glycosphingolipids, certain type of cerebrosides (glucosylcerebrosides), and exhibits low activity towards galactocerebrosides (See Reference 1, FAQ #3). EGCase I does not hydrolyze sulfatides nor psychosine.

    Product Source

    EGCase I is isolated from a strain of E. coli, which contains the cloned EGCase I gene from Rhodococcus triatomea.

    • Properties & Usage

      Unit Definition

      One unit of R. triatomea EGCase I was defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1 μmol of ganglioside GM1a per minute at 37°C.

      Reaction Conditions

      1X EGCase I Reaction Buffer
      Incubate at 37°C

      1X EGCase I Reaction Buffer
      50 mM sodium acetate
      0.1% Triton® X-100
      (pH 5.2 @ 25°C)

      Storage Buffer

      50 mM NaCl
      20 mM Tris-HCl
      1 mM EDTA
      pH 7.5 @ 25°C

      Heat Inactivation

      65°C for 20 minutes

      Molecular Weight

      Apparent: 50 kDa

      Unit Assay Conditions

      Two fold dilutions of EGCase I are incubated with 10 nmoles of GM1a substrate in 1X EGCase I Reaction Buffer in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated for 5 minutes at 37°C. Released glycans are labeled with 2-AB, and reaction products are analyzed by ultra-performance hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
