Beschreibung

General description

Lectin from Triticum vulgaris (wheat) is a dimeric glycoprotein of 36 kDa. It belongs to the family of chitin-binding proteins. Glycosylated precursor of lectin is synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum.

Application

Lectin from Triticum vulgaris (wheat) has been used:

• to conjugate with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) dye
• to inhibit nuclear import
• to inhibit the nuclear pore of human cervical carcinoma HeLa and SiHa cells[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin from Triticum vulgaris (wheat) possessing four binding sites is specific for N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (sialic acid) residues. Lectins also function as a fungicide. They also possess anti-nutritive effects.

WGA ist nicht Blutgruppen-spezifisch, hat aber eine Affinität zu N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminylresten und N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosamin-Oligomeren. WGA enthält keine proteingebundenen Kohlenhydrate.

Preparation Note

Konjugate werden aus affinitätsgereinigtem Lektin hergestellt.

Other Notes
