Any <em>N</em>-glycan derivative with general formula Man<small><sub>1-4</sub></small>Fuc<small><sub>0-1</sub></small> GlcNAc<small><sub>2</sub></small>. Found in relatively large amounts in invertebrates and plants, they are formed by removal of the peripheral GlcNAc of GlcNAcMan<small><sub>3-4</sub></small>GlcNAc<small><sub>2</sub></small> by a Golgi hexosaminidase.
