| CHARACTERIZATION | |
| BIOACTIVITY | The specificity of the lectin for O-acetylsialic acids appears to account for the fact that it agglutinates mouse, rat, rabbit, and horse erythrocytes, which contain O-acetylsialic acids on cell surface glycoconjugates, but not human monkey, sheep, goat, and chicken erythrocytes which contain only NeuAc or N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | Sialic acid-binding lectin with high specificity for 9-O-acetyl- and 4-O-acetylsialic acids |
| INHIBITORS | |
