Vector Laboratories Galanthus Nivalis (Snowdrop) Lectin (GNL) Biotinylated 2 mg

Supplier: Vector Laboratories B12452

Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNL), unlike most mannose-specific lectins, is not a metalloprotein and does not require Ca++ or Mn++ for binding. Binding is preferentially directed toward structures containing (α-1,3) mannose residues. Also in contrast to most mannose-binding lectins, GNL will not bind α-linked glucose. GNL binds to many viral glycoproteins and to rat and mouse IgM but not IgG. The only human serum protein reported to bind to this lectin is α2-macroglobulin. This conjugate features a ratio of biotin to lectin protein that provides optimal avidin/streptavidin and lectin binding activity. Supplied essentially free of unconjugated biotins, it is preserved with sodium azide.
