Maclura pomifera Lectin (MPL/MPA) - Separopore® 4B


Price: Regular price $150.90
Product 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). This lectin has a high affinity for tumor-associated T-antigen disaccharide (Galβ1,3GalNAcα) and many O-linked glycopeptide structures. The structure of Galβ1,3GalNAcα occurs on the surface of tumor cells as a mucin-associated antigenic marker, termed as T-antigen. It is also the central element in O-linked glycopeptide structures on other mammalian glycoproteins.Affinity purified Maclura pomifera Lectin (MPL/MPA) is immobilized to Separopore® 4B following CNBr coupling. The final product is stabilized in a buffer to retain maximum activity. The gel can be packed in 1 mL or 5mL.
