Active Native Bauhinia Purpurea Lectin Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1748B
• Product Overview: This product is the Bauhinia Purpurea Lectin and has sugar specificity against N-Acetylgalactosamine and Lactose.

Specification

• Species: Bauhinia purpurea
• Source: Bauhinia purpurea
• Tag: Non
• Description: BPL binding appears to be highest for glycoconjugates containing galactosyl (β-1,3) N-acetylgalactosamine structures but oligosaccharides with a terminal α-linked N-acetylgalactosamine can also bind. Although binding specificity is similar to that of peanut agglutinin, tissue staining patterns of these two lectins are distinct.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM lactose
• Molecular Mass: 195 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.
