Involved in glycoprotein quality control targeting of misfolded glycoproteins for degradation. It primarily trims a single alpha-1,2-linked mannose residue from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to produce Man(8)GlcNAc(2), but at high enzyme concentrations, as found in the ER quality control compartment (ERQC), it further trims the carbohydrates to Man(5-6)GlcNAc(2). 4 H2O + N(4)-(alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcNAc)-L-asparaginyl-[protein] (N-glucan mannose isomer 9A1,2,3B1,2,3) = 4 beta-D-mannose + N(4)-(alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc)-L-asparaginyl-[protein] (N-glucan mannose isomer 5A1,2) 3 H2O + N(4)-(alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcNAc)-L-asparaginyl-[protein] (N-glucan mannose isomer 8A1,2,3B1,3) = 3 beta-D-mannose + N(4)-(alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc)-L-asparaginyl-[protein] (N-glucan mannose isomer 5A1,2) Inhibited by both 1-deoxymannojirimycin (dMNJ) and kifunensine. Optimum pH is between 6.5 and 6.9. Protein modification; protein glycosylation. Widely expressed. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 47 family. It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-37 is the initiator.
