Specification

• Species: Mushroom
• Source: Mushroom
• Description: Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA) is an fractionated tetramer composed of two to four isolectins. ABA has two distinct carbohydrate binding sites, one for galactose-β-1,3-N-acetylgalactosamine and another for galactose-β-1,3-N-acetylglucosamine. Agaricus bisporus has an anti-proliferative effect on cancerous cells. ABA can be internalized by clathrin-coated vesicles after binding to surface glycoproteins, thus making ABA an inhibitor of its nuclear import of signal-dependent proteins.
• Form: Powder
• Storage: At -20 centigrade.
