Specification

• Species: Jimson weed
• Source: Jimson weed
• Description: Datura stramonium agglutinin or lectin (DSA/DSL) is purified by fractionation. Seeds of Datura stramonium contain at least three different carbohydrate-binding proteins, and the most prominent lectin is a dimeric glycoprotein composed of two nonidentical subunits that contains 40% carbohydrate. DSL binds well in the acidic pH range and its affinity decreases above pH 8. 0. This agglutinin has blood group A, B, and O specificity. Studies have shown that DSA can act as a biomarker for neoplastic urotherial cells.
• Form: Powder
• Storage: At -20 centigrade.
