Specification

• Description: Maclura pomifera agglutinin or lectin (MPA/MPL) is tetrameric plant protein purified by fractionation. MPA has a molecular weight of about 44,000 and consists of four subunits. It has an isoelectric point between pH 4. 8 and pH 5. 3, and blood group specificity towards A, B, and O (-SA). It is also the central element in O-linked glycopeptide structures on other mammalian glycoproteins. Maclura pomifera Lectin (MPL/MPA) is labeled with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) and has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin. TRITC is a bright orange or red-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited to the 532-nm laser line. TRITC labeled MPL/MPA can be used for cellular imaging applications.
