Active Native Hippeastrum Hybrid (Amaryllis) Lectin Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1739H
• Product Overview: This product is the Hippeastrum Hybrid (Amaryllis) Lectin and Amaryllis lectin binds only α-mannose residues, unlike Con A, LCA and PSA that also bind α-glucosyl structures.

Specification

• Species: Hippeastrum hybrid
• Source: Hippeastrum hybrid
• Tag: Non
• Description: This lectin is composed of four subunits of identical size and is immunologically related to GNL and NPL. Amaryllis lectin binds only α-mannose residues, unlike Con A, LCA and PSA that also bind α-glucosyl structures. Like NPL there appears to be an extended binding site for polymannose structures, not requiring mannose to be at the non-reducing terminus. HHL binds both (α-1,3) and (α-1,6) linked mannose structures, as well as some yeast galactomannans.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting Sugar: 100 mM α-methylmannoside
• Molecular Mass: 50 kDa
• Applications: Glycobiology
• 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.
