| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This enzyme is also active when O-4 of the glucosamine is substituted
by carrying the oligosaccharide that can link a protein to the
structure.
- It therefore cleaves proteins from the lipid part of the
glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, but does so by
hydrolysis, whereas EC 4.6.1.14 does so by elimination.
- It acts on plasma membranes only after solubilization of the
substrate with detergents or solvents, but it may act on
intracellular membranes.
