Glycosidase

Glycosidase inhibitors, enzymes and substrates are tools for studying how glycans are broken down. Glycosidases remove sugars from glycoproteins, glycolipids and polysaccharides and shape N-glycan processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Kifunensine, an alkaloid, was reported in 1990 to inhibit glycoprotein processing mannosidase I, so N-glycans stay in high-mannose form. Peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) releases intact N-linked glycans from glycoproteins, as described in 1985. OGT2115 inhibits heparanase, the endo-β-glucuronidase that cleaves heparan sulfate chains. M-31850 inhibits β-hexosaminidase, and PFB-FDGlu is a fluorogenic substrate for glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Enzymes that cleave glucose residues have their own neighboring category, Glucosidase.

    p-Nitrophenyl α-D-mannopyranoside

    Synonyms: 4-Nitrophenyl a-D-mannopyranoside

    p-Nitrophenyl α-D-mannopyranoside is a chromogenic glycosidic ligand targeting glycosidase enzymes. This compound contains an α-D-mannopyranose moiety with a distinctive axial hydroxyl group at the C2 position, along with a p-nitrophenol portion that absorbs ultraviolet-visible light. p-Nitrophenyl α-D-mannopyranoside is essential for assessing glycosidase activity and exploring the sugar recognition properties of lectins, including Concanavalin A.

    GT-02216

    GT-02216 is an allosteric ligand for Glucosylceramidase (GCase) that enhances its enzymatic activity. This compound not only promotes the activity of GCase in primary human fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner but also effectively reduces the accumulation of hexosylsphingosine (HexCer), a substrate linked to various pathologies. Additionally, GT-02216 has demonstrated the ability to decrease Tau accumulation in mutant GBA1 fibroblasts, making it a valuable tool in the study of Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative conditions.
