Triticum vulgaris Lectin, MP Biomedicals

About this item

Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin that agglutinate cells and/or precipitate complex carbohydrates.

WGA is not blood group specific
Has an affinity for N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl residues and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine oligomers
WGA contains no protein-bound carbohydrate

Lectins are capable of binding glycoproteins even in presence of various detergents. The agglutination activity of these highly specific carbohydrate-binding molecules is usually inhibited by a simple monosaccharide, but for some lectins, di, tri, and even polysaccharides are required. It is purified Triticum vulgrislectin (WGA) from Wheat Germ.
