Price: Regular price $77.10
Product Description
Product DescriptionPsophocarpus tetragonolobus(psophocarpinB1, a storage protein with chymotrypsin inhibitory activity), PTL I lectin is isolated from winged bean seeds and purified by affinity chromatography. The seed contains two lectins in which PTL I is thebasicof the two, with an isoelectric point greater than pH 9.5 and a molecular weight of 58,000. PTL I is a dimeric glycoprotein with specificity to GalNAc, eluting the sugar GalNAc.This lectin agglutinates trypsinized rabbit and human type A and B erythrocytes but not trypsinized human type O erythrocytes. PTL I recognizes blood group A-substance derived oligosaccharides such as trisaccharide GalNAcï±1-3Galï_1-4Glc. Studies on inhibition assays of lectin-blood group A precipitation demonstrated that substance-derived oligosaccharides were the best inhibitors and had the common structure of D-GalNAc alpha(1,3)D-Gal-(beta 1,3/4) to a D-Glc, and about 8 and 4 times more active than D-GalNAc and D-GalNAc alpha(1,3)D-Gal, respectively.Reports on the thermodynamics and kinetics of the lectin suggest that it has an extended binding site, and its interactions with saccharides involvereorientationof water molecules.This product comes in a lyophilized powder form and is stored at -20ëC.
Applications:GlycobiologyStaining of mouse M-cellsBlood vessel staining of A and B group individuals
