| conjugate | biotin conjugate |
| extent of labeling | 2-4 mol biotin per mol protein |
| form | lyophilized powder |
| impurities | salt, free |
| Quality Level | 200  |

| Analysis Note: | Where reported, agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, of a 1 mg/ml solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human blood group A erythrocytes after 1 hour incubation at 25 °C. |
| Application: | Lectin from Helix pomatia has been used to study its binding activities in Gyrodactylus derjavini parasitizing fins of Oncorhynchus mykiss. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | HPA has anti-A human blood group specificity and has an affinity for terminal N-acetyl-α- |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lectin is useful in glycoconjugate characterizing, imaging and targeting. Lectin participates in host recognition and tissue adhesion. Lectins shows resistance to proteolytic degradation in vivo. |
| General description: | Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, omnipresent, found in fungi, plants and animals. These oligomeric proteins are characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate recognition domain. |
