General annotation (Comments)

Function

Cleaves the GlcNAc-Asn bond which joins oligosaccharides to the peptide of asparagine-linked glycoproteins.

Catalytic activity

N(4)-(beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl)-L-asparagine + H2O = N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminylamine + L-aspartate.

Subunit structure

Heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains arranged as a dimer of alpha/beta heterodimers.

Subcellular location

Lysosome.

Involvement in disease

Defects in AGA are the cause of aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) [MIM:208400]. AGU is an inborn lysosomal storage disease. Clinical features of AGU include mild to severe mental retardation manifesting from the age of 2, coarse facial features and mild connective tissue abnormalities. This recessively inherited disease is overrepresented in the Finnish population. Ref.3 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase family.
