Active Native Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin II Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1790G
• Product Overview: This product is the unconjugated Griffonia Simplicifolia Lectin II and has sugar specificity against N-Acetylglucosamine.

Specification

• Species: Griffonia Simplicifolia
• Source: Griffonia Simplicifolia
• Tag: Non
• Description: This lectin is a dimeric glycoprotein composed of two subunits of nearly identical size with each subunit having disulfide-linked chains and a binding site for α- or β-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues. Unlike other N-acetylglucosamine specific lectins, increasing the number of N-acetylglucosamine residues beyond two does not improve affinity. GSL II has been reported to be unique in its ability to recognize exclusively α- or β-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues on the nonreducing terminal of oligosaccharides.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: Chitin Hydrolysate or 200 mM N-acetylglucosamine
• Molecular Mass: 113 kDa
• Applications: Glycobiology
• 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, 0.8% sodium azide can be used.
