Specification

• Species: Lens Culinaris
• Source: Lens Culinaris
• Tag: Non
• Description: Lens culinaris agglutinin is composed of four subunits - two of about 17 kDa and two of 8 kDa. LCA recognizes sequences containing α-linked mannose residues but recognizes additional sugars as part of the receptor structure, giving it a narrower specificity than Con A. An α-linked fucose residue attached to the N-acetylchitobiose portion of the core oligosaccharide significantly enhances affinity. By exploiting this narrower specificity, glycoproteins and glycopeptides can be subfractionated with LCA after initial isolation with Con A.
• Form: 10 mM HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5, 0.08 % sodium azide, 0.1 mM Ca2+, 0.01 mM Mn2+
• Bio-activity: Carbohydrate-Binding Specificity: Mannose and Glucose
• Molecular Mass: 50 kDa
• Applications: Immunofluorescence, Glycobiology
• Usage: The recommended concentration range for use is 5-20 µg/ml.
• Storage: Refrigerate in the dark. If precipitate forms upon long term storage, warm to 37 centigrade. A precipitate may form during storage. This does not have a significant adverse effect on the product. If a precipitate forms upon long-term storage at 4 centigrade, warm to 37 centigrade. and centrifuge before use.
• Concentration: 5 mg/ml
