Artocarpus integrifolia Lectin (AIA) - Separopore® 6B SuperTrap™ Cartridge

Product Description

Jacalin lectin (AIA) is purified by affinity chromatography and is tetrameric two-chain structure consisting of four identical protomers with an isoelectric point of pH 7.8. The lectin has specificity for blood group types O (+SA) and T. Jacalin is considered a galactose-specific lectin and elutes with galactose or melibiose. A post-translational proteolytic modification of Jacalin gives the lectin a novel carbohydrate-binding site involving the N terminus of the α-chain. The protein’s structure explains it’s carbohydrate-binding specificity of T-antigen disaccharide Galβ1,3GalNAc. Potent inhibitors of jacalin include D-galactose, β-Met-Gal and 2-deoxy-α-D-galactose.bioWORLD produces crosslinked 6B Separopore® appropriately coupled to Artocarpus integrifolia Lectin (AIA) to provide a fast flow cartridge which can trap affinity bound material and retain it during washing, followed by elution of affinity purified material. bioWORLD’s SuperTrap cartridges of varies matrices are proven highly effective in protein chromatography.
