UniProtKB description:  Endoglucosidase that acts as a host immune evasion factor by mediating hydrolysis of the N-linked glycan from the Fc region of host immunoglobulin-gamma (IgG) during infection (PubMed:11406581, PubMed:11598100, PubMed:12438337, PubMed:18182097, PubMed:20357243, PubMed:21619648, PubMed:22551167, PubMed:22747414, PubMed:24668806, PubMed:24753590, PubMed:29760474, PubMed:30102520, PubMed:31092533). Specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of the beta-1,4 linkage between the first two N-acetylglucosamine residues of the complex-type N-linked glycan located on 'Asn-297' of the Fc region of IgG antibodies (IGHG1, IGHG2, IGHG3 or IGHG4), thereby preventing interaction between IgGs and Fc receptors and ability to activate the complement pathway (PubMed:11406581, PubMed:11598100, PubMed:12438337, PubMed:20357243, PubMed:21619648, PubMed:31092533). Shows a specificity for biantennary complex type N-glycans; does neither cleave larger complex type glycans nor oligomannose and nor hybrid-type glycans (PubMed:22551167, PubMed:26156869). Specifically acts on IgGs; does not act on immunoglobulin alpha, beta, delta or mu (PubMed:11598100).
