Specification

• Species: Bandeiraea
• Source: Bandeiraea
• Description: GSL II is affinity purified tetramer that contains a single type of 30 kDa subunit. It has insecticidal structure/function, the first GlcNAc binding legume lectin proven to have insecticidal activity. This lectin shows specificity for blood group A(-SA) greater than blood group B(-SA). Griffonia simplicifolia Lectin (GSL II) is conjugated to ferritin, that has a molecular weight of 474,000 g/mol (all 24 subunits combined). Ferritin-conjugated lectins can be used to visualize localization of specific saccharide moieties and examine the distribution of plasma membrane glycoproteins. These conjugates can be viewed via electron microscopy.
