BPL binding appears to be highest for glycoconjugates containing galactosyl (β-1,3)N-acetylgalactosamine structures but oligosaccharides with a terminal α-linked N-acetylgalactosamine can also bind. Although binding specificity is similar to that of peanut agglutinin, tissue staining patterns of these two lectins are distinct.
Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM lactose
Unit Size | 5 mg |
---|---|
Applications | Glycobiology, Mitogenic Stimulation |
Recommended Usage | Although many buffers can be employed for reconstituting and diluting this lectin, 10 mM HEPES buffered saline, pH 8.5, 0.1 mM CaCl2 is recommended. For preserving solutions stored at 4 ºC, 0.08% sodium azide can be used. |
Recommended Storage | 2-8 °C |
Conjugate | Unconjugated |
Sugar Specificity | N-Acetylgalactosamine, Lactose |
