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

• 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.
