Background: alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA

alpha-Galactoside is prevalent in animals and plants. The alpha-Galactosidase ( alpha-Gal) from Escherichia coli is a useful tool for the removal of alpha1,3-linked and alpha1,6‑linked galactosides from the non-reducing terminus of complex carbohydrates and glycoproteins (1). alpha-Gal efficiently hydrolyzes raffinose, an alpha-D-galactosylsucrose, to D‑galactose and sucrose. The enzyme can also hydrolyze other alpha-Galactosides such as melibiose, stachyose, verbascose, and galactinol. The enzyme does not cleave beta-linked galactose, such as lactose.
