Vector Laboratories Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) Fluorescein-labeled 5 mg
Supplier: Vector Laboratories FL10215
Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) contains a group of closely related isolectins that bind N-acetylglucosamine (preferentially the dimers and trimers of this sugar) and oligosaccharides containing terminal N-acetylglucosamine or chitobiose, structures common to many serum and membrane glycoproteins. Bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans, chitin, cartilage glycosaminoglycans, and glycolipids can also bind WGA. Native WGA also interacts with some glycoproteins via sialic acid residues (see succinylated WGA). This fluorescein-labeled WGA features a ratio of fluorophores to lectin protein that provides optimal staining (excitation 495 nm, emission 515 nm). Supplied as a solution essentially free of unconjugated fluorophores, it is preserved with sodium azide. The recommended inhibiting/eluting sugar is chitin hydrolysate or 500 mM N-acetylglucosamine with salt and/or acid elution.
