At CD BioGlyco, we provide a wide range of expert Services to help clients explore the fascinating world of glycans and their pivotal role in shaping the intricate functions of proteins and cells. To uncover the structures of glycans that are vital for their functions we specialize in developing effective enzyme tools and chemical analysis methods. Our goal is to assist clients in conducting research and making advancements in areas such as biomedicine, biotechnology, and fundamental research by offering a range of enzymes related to glycobiology. These include purified endoglycosidases, exoglycosidases, and glycosyltransferases that can be used for glycan profiling, protein modification analysis, or sequence investigations independently or in combination, with other enzymes.
Our glycosyltransferases are the major enzymes facilitating the precise transfer of carbohydrate molecules from activated sugar nucleotide donors to specific acceptor molecules. Our products are able to facilitate the controlled extension and branching of complex glycans and glycoconjugates. High selectivity and efficiency are crucial for biosynthetic pathways involving oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, protein glycosylation, and the production of essential natural products.
For analysis, glycoanalytical enzymes are extremely valuable biocatalysts. Their exceptional specificity and sensitivity make them indispensable tools in glycan analysis. Trust CD BioGlyco's glycoanalytical enzymes for cutting-edge solutions in glycan analysis.
Exoglycosidases at CD BioGlyco are enzymes that selectively cleave glycans at terminal residues and have high specificity for linkage, stereochemistry as well as the configuration of anomeric carbon in the link. Our exoglycosidases can be used for a variety of purposes, including the removal of terminal sugar residues for the determination of glycan sequences or the modification of glycans on glycoproteins.
Glycosaminoglycan Degrading Enzymes
Glycosaminoglycans, complex carbohydrates that have a wide range of expression and structural features enabling interactions with many different biological molecules. Our glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes with the ability to break down glycosaminoglycans has significantly simplified the structural analysis of these polysaccharide chains. Our some enzymes exhibit transglycosylation activity, allowing for a reverse reaction to their hydrolytic activity. Thus, these enzymes serve not just as instrumental tools for structural analysis but also for synthesizing novel glycosaminoglycans.
Our GPI anchor enzymes have different functions, some are responsible for assembling the GPI anchor and some have the ability to cleave the phospho-glycerol bond found in GPI-anchored proteins. These enzymes help gain a better understanding of cell biology and potential implications for health and disease.
Our endoglycosidases are highly purified enzymes that are responsible for cleaving specific N- and O-linked glycans attached to glycoproteins. Our endoglycosidases are characterized by their specificity and efficiency in hydrolyzing internal glycosidic bonds within oligosaccharide and polysaccharide chains. In order to facilitate downstream analysis and structural determination, they release intact oligosaccharides upon cleavage.
Enzyme Substrates
Substrate is a substance or compound that participates in a catalyzed reaction.Substrates can be a substance within the organism, such as glucose, amino acids, or an exogenous substance. Substrate in biology by interacting with a specific substance, a substrate is able to participate in various biological processes such as metabolism, biosynthesis, and signaling. Therefore, substrates play a very important role in biology.

Results: This study summarizes current research on hyaluronidases (HYALs) and describes their role in non-cancerous diseases. The authors emphasize the significance of investigating HYALs for potential therapeutic targets beyond cancer, particularly in conditions like pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, progressive kidney disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. The study demonstrates that incorporating serum hyaluronan levels into the evaluation of liver disease could enhance patient stratification, offering potential benefits for those afflicted with these conditions by zeroing in on particular HYALs. This study accentuates the necessity for further exploration of HYALs in diverse disease contexts, suggesting that a more profound understanding of HYALs might lead to improved therapeutic outcomes for individuals with multi-organ disorders.
