Description générale

Peanut lectin (PNA) is a lectin or an agglutinin from the legume, Arachis hypogaea,[1] found in peripheral venous blood in humans after ingestion of peanuts. PNA lectin is specific to the galactosyl (β-1,3) N-acetylgalactosamine.[1]

Application

Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) has been used:
  • in enzyme-linked micro plate assay to detect β-D-galactose-N-acetylglucosamine[2]
  • in Immunohistochemical double staining[3]
  • Immunohistochemical double staining for the detection of germinal centers[4]
  • in enzyme-linked microplate assayto detect β-D-galactose-N-acetylglucosamine[2]

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) functions as an antigenic determinant for Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TF)[5] and as mitogen for colorectal cancer stimulation cell division in normal colonic epithelium.[6] It is therefore used as tumor marker.[7]
PNA does not agglutinate normal human erythrocytes, but strongly agglutinates neuraminidase treated erythrocytes. PNA has potent anti-T activity similar to the anti-T antibody in human sera. The lectin can be used to distinguish between human lymphocyte subsets.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Is the peanut lectin (Lectin from Arachis hypogaea) a glycoprotein?  If so, what is the carbohydrate content?

    1 answer
    1. Peanut lectin is not a glycoprotein. Although peanut lectin binds specifically to a particular carbohydrate (beta-gal(1-->3)galNac) in other molecules, the lectin itself does not contain any carbohydrate.  Please see page 231 of the following paper: R. Banerjee, et al., "Crystal structure of peanut lectin, a protein with an unusual quaternary structure".  Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., USA, 91, 227-231 (1994).

  3. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 answer
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
