The rSRL is an Escherichia coli recombinant of carbohydrate-binding protein (Lectin) derived from Sclerotium rolfsii. This lectin preferably binds to [GlcNAcβ(1-2)Man, Galβ(1-3)GalNAc] glycan epitopes by its two distinct carbohydrate-binding sites.
The LecBeads is a lectin-immobilized agarose which is capable of capturing glycoproteins via binding to its specific epitope(s), and it is prepared by a covalent coupling method between lectin and agarose.
The Lectin-catch method using LecBeads (as shown in Application tab) is available for selective separation of glycoconjugates (glycoproteins, glycolipids, and so on). This rSRL-LecBeads (1 ml gel) shows a binding capacity of about 7.5 mg or more agalacto human Transferrin [agalacto hTF] through its binding to a terminal [GlcNAcβ(1-2)Man] glycan epitope on agalacto hTF.
