Active Native Galanthus Nivalis Lectin Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1749G
• Product Overview: This product is the Galanthus Nivalis Lectin and has sugar specificity against Mannose.

Specification

• Species: Galanthus nivalis
• Source: Galanthus nivalis
• Tag: Non
• Description: Galanthus nivalis lectin, unlike most mannose-specific lectins, is not a metalloprotein and does not require Ca2+ or Mn2+ for binding. Binding seems to be preferentially directed toward structures containing (α-1,3) mannose residues. Also in contrast to most mannose-binding lectins, GNL will not bind α-linked glucose. Reports indicate that this lectin binds rat and mouse IgM but not IgG. The only protein from human serum reported to bind to this lectin is α2-macroglobulin. GNL binds to many viral glycoproteins.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM - 200 mM α-methylmannoside
• Molecular Mass: 50 kDa
• Applications: Immunohistochemistry / Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Blotting Applications, Glycobiology
• Storage: Refrigerate at 4 centigrade
• 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. Lectin may be preserved with 0.04% sodium azide.
