Lysosomal α-mannosidase
Lysosomal α-mannosidase (EC:3.2.1.24) is a low pH-activated exoglycosidase that hydrolyzes α-mannosidic linkages on mannan and N-linked oligosaccharides, and its activation requires Zn2+. As the major exoglycosidase in the glycoprotein degradation pathway, lysosomal α-mannosidase cleaves α1,2-, α1,3- and α1,6-mannosidic linkages during a non-random, ordered degradation process to generate Man1GlcNAc1-2 for further lysosomal processing. Lysosomal α-mannosidase can be used in studies related to α-mannosidosis.

Biological Activity
Lysosomal α-mannosidase derived from rat, bovine and cat liver hydrolyzes α1,2-, α1,3- and α1,6-mannosidic linkages in N-linked glycan oligosaccharides in a non-random and species-consistent manner. It has an optimal acidic pH of 3.5-4.5, exhibits stability, and is activated by Zn2+ [2].
Bovine Lysosomal α-mannosidase is a single-chain precursor protein consisting of 949 amino acids, which can be cleaved into 5 subunits. Among these subunits, 3 are linked by disulfide bonds, and variable N-glycosylation leads to heterogeneity in its molecular mass[2].
