Product description
"Wisteria floribunda lectin is isolated from japanese wisteria seeds
and purified by affinity chromatography. The lectin has a molecular
weight of 116 kDa and is composed of four polypeptide chains of 29 kDa.
The lectin labels selectively N-acetylgalactosamines beta 1 (GalNAc
beta 1-3 Gal) residues of glycoproteins within the extracellular matrix
of the neurons, and has been identified as a specific marker for
functionally different cortical areas of the rodent brain. Wisteria
floribunda lectin can also be used as a probe for serum biomarkers of
several diseases such as liver fibrosis, liver cirrosis, IgA
nephropathy, entometriosis and a long list of cancer types, with very
low background noise.
Medicago’s Wisteria floribunda lectin is supplied as a white to
yellowish-white lyophilized powder. The purity is determined by SDS-
PAGE, which generates one single band at 29 kDa corresponding to the
four polypeptide chains. The lectin is available in vials containing 5
mg or 100 mg powder, but for bulk purchases other packaging can be
prepared. The product is to be used for laboratory work only."
