O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (EC3.4.24.57, glycoprotease, glycophorin A proteinase, glycoproteinase, sialoglycoprotease, sialoglycoproteinase, "OSGE") is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
Hydrolysis of O-sialoglycoproteins; cleaves -Arg-Asp- bond in glycophorin A. Does not cleave unglycosylated proteins, desialylated glycoproteins or glycoproteins that are only N-glycosylated
