Aleuria Aurantia lectin (AAL), Fluorescein labeled

Product Details

Aleuria Aurantia Lectin (AAL), Fluorescein, 1 mg. AAL is a dimer of two identical subunits of about 36 kDa each. Unlike Ulex europaeus and Lotus tetragonolobus lectins which prefer (alpha -1,2) linked fucose residues, Aleuria aurantia lectin binds preferentially to fucose linked (alpha -1,6) to N-acetylglucosamine or to fucose linked (alpha -1,3) to N-acetyllactosamine related structures. AAL also reversibly binds fucose attached to nucleic acids. This product has an appropriate number of fluorochromes to provide the optimum staining characteristics and is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorochromes. The excitation maximum is at 495 nm, and the emission maximum is at 515 nm. Accompanying each fluorescent lectin is an analysis data sheet summarizing the results of quality control tests and providing pertinent information on the product. Supplied as solution preserved with sodium azide. Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM L-fucose.
