Griffonia (Bandeiraea) simplicifolia lectin II (GSL II, BSL II), Fluorescein labeled

Griffonia (Bandeiraea) Simplicifolia Lectin II (GSL II, BSL II), Fluorescein, 2 mg. GSL II is a dimeric glycoprotein composed of two subunits of nearly identical size, each with disulfide-linked chains and a binding site for alpha- or beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues. Unlike similar lectins, increasing the number of N-acetylglucosamine residues beyond two does not improve affinity. GSL II has been reported to have a unique ability to recognize exclusively alpha- or beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues on the nonreducing terminal of oligosaccharides. This product has an appropriate number of fluorochromes to provide the optimum staining characteristics and is supplied essentially free of unconjugated fluorochromes. Excitation maximum: 495 nm; Emission maximum: 515 nm. Includes a data sheet summary of QC test results and product info. Supplied as solution preserved with sodium azide. Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: Chitin Hydrolysate or 200 mM N-acetylglucosamine.
