| INDEX | Plant lectin / Plant / Seed / Hololectins / GlcNAc/(GlcNAc)-binding lectins |
| CHARACTERIZATION | Although this lectin resembles cereal lectins with respect to its biochemical and physicochemical properties, it differs structurally in several aspects from wheat-germ-agglutinin-like lectins. See: Biochem J 1982 Sep 1;205(3):635-8 |
| BIOACTIVITY | The lectin agglutinates all human erythrocytes equally well regardless of blood group. See: Biochem. J. 1982 (205); 635-638 |
| SOURCE TISSUE | Seed |
| SPECIFICITY | GlcNAc (oligomers> monomer) |
| INHIBITORS | Oligomers of GlcNAc are more effective inhibitors of agglutination than the monomer. |
