Active Native Aleuria Aurantia Lectin Protein, Agarose bound

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1751A
• Product Overview: This product is the Agarose bound Aleuria Aurantia Lectin and has sugar specificity against Fucose, Arabinose.

Specification

• Species: Aleuria Aurantia
• Source: Aleuria Aurantia
• Tag: Non
• Description: This lectin is a dimer of two identical subunits of about 36 kDa each. Unlike Ulex europaeus and Lotus tetragonolobus lectins which prefer (α -1,2) linked fucose residues, Aleuria aurantia lectin binds preferentially to fucose linked (α -1,6) to N-acetylglucosamine or to fucose linked (α -1,3) to N-acetyllactosamine related structures. AAL also reversibly binds fucose attached to nucleic acids
• Form: 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 10 mM fucose, 0.08% sodium azide
• Bio-activity: Binding Capacity: >4 mg of fucosyl glycoprotein/ml of gel
• Molecular Mass: 72 kDa
• Applications: Glycobiology, Affinity Chromatography
• Usage: 1, Wash gel thoroughly with buffer before use to remove sugar added to stabilize the lectin.
  2, Recommended product for eluting glycoconjugates bound to this agarose-lectin: Glycoprotein Eluting Solution. Alternatively, 100 mM L-fucose in buffered saline can be used.
  3, After use, wash the gel with several column volumes of buffered saline then resuspend gel in buffered saline containing 0.08% sodium azide for storage.
• Storage: Refrigerate at 4 centigrade. DO NOT FREEZE.
• Concentration: 2 mg/ml of settled gel
