Active Native Succinylated Wheat Germ Agglutinin Protein, Fluorescein labeled

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1866W
• Product Overview: This product is the Fluorescein labeled succinylated Wheat Germ Agglutinin and has sugar specificity against N-Acetylglucosamine. The excitation maximum is at 495 nm and the emission maximum is at 515 nm.

Specification

• Description: This derivative has been reported to have properties distinct from the native lectin. Evidence suggests that Succinylated Wheat Germ agglutinin does not bind to sialic acid residues, unlike the native form, but retains its specificity toward N-acetylglucosamine. Using conjugates of the native lectin and the succinylated form can provide a system to distinguish between sialylated glycoconjugates and those containing only N-acetylglucosamine structures.
