General description

Lectin is a carbohydrate-binding protein found in plant roots, rhizomes, leaves, seeds, and stems.[1][2] Lectin is located in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus.[2]

Application

Lectin from Wisteria floribunda has been used:
  • to study the perineuronal nets and parvalbumin nets in mouse brain by immunofluorescence[3]
  • to evaluate the amount of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) transferred to Gaussia luciferase (GLuc) substrates by microplate assay[4]
  • to study its binding effects on perineuronal nets[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin binds with high affinity to the glycans of polysaccharides, glycolipids, and glycoproteins.[1] It is involved in plant defense.[2]
WFA is not blood group specific, but has an affinity for N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group A erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.
