CHARACTERIZATIONAmaranthin is a highly specific tool probe for the T and cryptic T antigens. See: J. Biolog. Chem. 1989 (264); 16 123-16 131 Amaranthin is used as a histochemical probe for proliferating cells in human colonic tissue. See Biochemistry 1992 (31); 4308-4313 Amaranthin represents about 3.7% of the PBS extractable protein in seed meal. See: See: J. Biolog. Chem. 1989 (264); 16 123-16 131 A lectin with similar T-antigen binding specificity is present in Artocarpus integrifolia seeds.
BIOACTIVITYThe Amaranthus lectin agglutinates human ABO and sheep, goat, rat rabbit and guinea pig erythrocytes. See: Plant Sci. 1993 (94); 47-53
