Active Native Wisteria Floribunda Lectin Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1742W
• Product Overview: This product is the Wisteria Floribunda Lectin and and has sugar specificity against N-Acetylgalactosamine.

Specification

• Species: Wisteria floribunda
• Source: Wisteria floribunda
• Tag: Non
• Description: The binding specificity of Wisteria floribunda lectin (WFL) is not completely clear but this lectin appears to preferentially bind carbohydrate structures terminating in N-acetylgalactosamine linked α or β to the 3 or 6 position of galactose. This lectin has been used to fractionate lymphocyte populations, and although not mitogenic, elicits the production of lymphokines from murine splenocytes.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 200 mM N-acetylgalactosamine
• Molecular Mass: 116 kDa
• Applications: Glycobiology, Mitogenic Stimulation
• Storage: Refrigerate in the dark.
• Reconstitution: Although many buffers can be employed for reconstituting and diluting this lectin, 10 mM HEPES buffered saline, pH 8.5, 0.1 mM Ca2+ is recommended. For preserving solutions stored at 4 centigrade, 0.08% sodium azide can be used.
