Active Native Musa Paradisiaca (Banana) Lectin Protein

• Cat.No.: Lectin-1741M
• Product Overview: This product is the Musa Paradisiaca (Banana) Lectin and and has sugar specificity against Mannose, Glucose

Specification

• Species: Musa paradisiaca
• Source: Musa paradisiaca
• Tag: Non
• Description: Isolated from the cultivated banana Musa paradisiaca, banana lectin (BanLec) is a very stable mannose- and glucose-binding lectin consisting of two identical 15 kDa subunits and a reported isoelectric point of pH 7.3. Although structurally related to the Jacalin family of lectins, BanLec recognizes internal α(1,3) glucosyl- and mannosyl- residues and has also been reported to bind β(1,3) and β(1,6) glucosyl-structures.
• Bio-activity: Inhibiting/eluting sugar: 200 mM α-methyl mannoside or mannose
• Molecular Mass: 30 kDa
• Applications: Immunohistochemistry / Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Blotting Applications, Glycobiology, Mitogenic Stimulation
• Storage: Refrigerate in the dark.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute lectin with 10 mM HEPES buffered saline, pH 7.5, 0.08% sodium azide. Subsequent storage should be at 4 centigrade.
