Specification

• Species: Camel's foot tree
• Source: Camel's foot tree
• Description: BPA is lactose-specific and elutes with the sugar lactose. It has specificity for blood groups A, B, O (-SA). Treatment of erythrocytes with neuraminidase or trypsin will increase the agglutination reaction, indicating that the receptor is masked by terminal carbohydrates. Although binding specificity is similar to that of peanut agglutinin, tissue staining patterns of these two lectins are distinct. Makela`s group 2 sugars, particularly N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, are potent inhibitors. The native protein appears to be stable in detergent solution. This product comes in lyophilized form and is stored at -20 centigrade. Reconstitute with sterile buffer. No metal ions are required for binding.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Molecular Mass: 195 kDa
